I have a buff cochin, Angel, that got attacked by a fox today. I ran out and scared it off and it dropped her but left a big wound on her back. It's been several hours now and she is not sounding too great. She looks very alert and is walking around but has a raspy sound. The wounds is the size of a quarter and is filled w/ watery blood. I don't know how deep it penetrated. It's about between her wings. Could the raspy sound be blood in her lungs. What should I do ...should I cull her or attempt to clean the wound and go get antibiotics. I don't want her to be suffering. I have her separated in a crate now w/food and water. The fox must have tried to get my Pekin also because she is limping w/a very small puncture wound on her leg. What should I do for that...antibiotic? Appreciate any treatment advice!
 
I would clean the wound keep her warm, dry and see how the wound looks I hope someone will chime in with more information I am new to this but you might check in the search and see if you can find out what you can use on the wound good luck and hope your girl makes it.
 
Thanks ...I did do a little research and am trying to make some saline solution for her now. Will rinse it and try antibiotic creme but am afraid that it might be too deep of a wound for the creme???
