EXTREMELY INJURED HEN: Please Help!!!

[OneMountainAcres]

Ok thank you. I cleaned her wounds with a weak Betadine solution, then put some polysporin on it. While I was cleaning her wounds, she opened her injured eye. It looks like they might have actually bite off half of or all of her eye. The eye socket seems to just be filled with yellow goo. She really perked up after I cleaned her up. She has some black goo in her left ear (the same side as injured eye) I think it could be infected but the black stuff could also just be dried blood. She is eating and drinking again and has dranken some electrolyte water. She is in a warm dog crate with some bedding. The only other thing that really needs to be done is she needs something to go in that injured eye. I could buy some eye drops from the drug store? Would that help?
And thank you everyone, I just can't get over how nice and helpful everyone is

She sounds like she's going to recover. You need to get some Terramycin for her eye. Most feed stores carry it I believe. It's like neosporin for eyes.

I'm so sorry to hear you have a hurt bird, it's so shocking and STRESSFUL! If she's perked up and eating/drinking that is a really good sign. I had a raccoon attack and my girl had her comb torn, scary and I was full of adrenaline when it happened. I used Vetericyn plus spray and kept applying along with colloidal silver spray. I couldn't get to feed store, too far, but I got the Vetericyn at the pet store, you can use on the eyes. I will never be without it! Keep us posted on your girl and God speed.

Ok. I don't have neopsorin. I have betadine solution that I can clean the wounds with though. I also have hibatane (for horses) and Vetranus Derma-Gel. Will any of this work?
I also have polysporin.
I will try feeding her some electrolytes and scrambled eggs. I have a dropper for the electrolytes like the one shown.

Sorry for the delay I have been offline for a few days betadine is a derivative of iodine, I have used it in the past on me and family members never thought to even try it on chickens (I feel stupid for not now!). I would think full strength might be okay, but until totally healed keep her isolated and there are threads here on BYC about introducing a new bird into a flock consult these so there is a lower risk of getting hurt again. sounds like she was on the losing end of the pecking order.

When my bird had injury, I kept her isolated until she had no seeping wound. My bird healed fast and within a week I reintroduced her to the flock and watched in case I needed to separate. She definitely was told to stay away by the bigger girls and her best friend didn't want to pair off. Now she's integrated and does fine with the group. All the best!
