I have been spraying the wounds. She is still in shock, not moving but not breathing so heavily now. Do you know how long shock usually lasts? giving her an Epsom salt bath now.

Get her dry, shock shuts the body down, shock kills faster than any wound. She needs heat, 75 to 80F. If you heat her up and keep her warm, she should pull out of this over night. Keep her in a semi darkened room now, tonight completely dark. Don't mess with her much, just keep her warm and let her body stabilize.

She was attacked Thursday evening. Since then I placed her in the extra b'room with towels and what not so she would be comfortable and turned on the heat lamp. I give her water with electrolytes and offer food. It really warm today and we are out doing the bath and I'm just about to take her out and put her back. I'm just concerned about it being so many days now.
I'm not in control but I'm trying to do everything I can to help her restore. It's heartbreaking to see her suffer like this.

I am so sorry, :hugs it's never easy to see them struggle. Sounds like you are doing a great job with her. Thursday was days ago already, it's possible she has internal damage and is in pain if she is shocky. Can she eat or drink? Definitely continue to keep her very warm.

I have been feeding her water with a syringe and then I read that someone was feeding their hen crumble in the syringe so I did that too after day 3. I was scared she was going to die without food. Then I read-dont feed while in shock. So I stopped. Still doing it with water/electrolytes. She's alert but sleepy and not moving. She's been pooping and I change out bedding but gave her an Epsom salt bath hoping it would be good for her. It's super warm out today and nice and sunny. I know there was 2 puncture wounds and with the bath, I saw on the very bottom, bruising I didnt see before. I think she is pretty sore there and I can see why she whimpers. At first I thought the only wounds were on her back and at the top of her leg--meaty part of the drumstick (lol, its the only way I know how to describe it)
I am basically forcing the water and did with the food. Do you think I should continue with the food? I grow worms for her and she did open for 2 but I forced open her mouth for 3 more. She would grab the worm and then just sit there with it dangling.
