So this morning my dog found a way into the chicken yard & tried to play with one of my 6 week old babies. I rinsed her off with warm, lightly running water, wrapped her up & have her beside me on a heating pad. She did loose some feathers (looks like when she got picked a couple weeks ago) but there are no open wounds.
Ive finally gotten her to drink a little & she’s sleeping now.
I put calendula cream & animal cbd oil on the spots. Since she’s been getting picked I put her inside with me a good bit (chicks go outside during the day we’re in AL it’s 90) should I keep her as is for now or move her & her bestie to the brooder with heat lamp?
she seems like she’s calmed down, she isn’t shaking anymore & has been chirping a little. I’m scared to let her around the 2 month olds since they have a history of picking her. Is there anything else I should do? I searched the forum & read all the similar threads I could find.
 
Hopefully, she'll be OK. Chicks do not respond well to attacks or sudden frights, but they really are resilient. If there are no open wounds, she won't act normal for a while, but she should come around.

I did end up bringing her bestie in & putting them in the brooder with heat lamp. I think she really missed him, she’s eating now so 🤞 she’s going to be ok
I have noticed if she hears my dog bark she starts shaking.
 
Update!
She is healing up nicely. Thank you so much for the help

Yes we learned that lesson lol our little doxiebull thinks he’s a chicken too he would lay in the brooder with them & let them climb all over him so I know he didn’t mean her harm but he won’t be getting in their yard anymore
My dog is fine with the chickens, she only chases them if she gets jealous, never hurts them though. She is more interested in eating their food! She is nearly 10 [human] years old so she is quite calm but if she gets too excited towards the birds she has to go inside to calm down.
