I... Am... So behind...
Aliss was bit by a dog today. She's resting now. There's a puncture wound clear thru the skin but not very deep into the muscle. I flushed it with epsom salt water. Tomorrow dad and I will recycle cans and pick up antibiotic ointment with the cash. She's weak on her right leg and just wants to lie down, but she's eating and drinking between naps. She's hanging out in the garage with us
I don't want to bother her right now so I'll get pics of the wound tomorrow when I flush it again. It hardly bled, it's just a hole in the skin and slight damage to the muscle. She's missing a lot of feathers. She had a prolapse when I first found her but it corrected itself almost immediately.
I'm not angry at the dog or her owner. I know the risks of free ranging, no less in a rural area with a lot of dogs and other predators. She's a good girl and she was just being a dog. Aliss is alive, sore but alive, and she has a good chance at recovery. That's what matters.
