Our guinea got attacked last night I believe it was a raccoon. What should I do? Sorry the pics aren't the best she would freak out if I opened the cage.
It lookes like the guineas skin was ripped off

I have on hand: Tylan50, vasolene, iodine, and bluekote

Oooo that looks awful.. i would obviously not let it near the other chickens and try to put something (like a pain/cleaner) on it and wrap it up and probably take it to a bird vet who would take chickens if its deep.
 
I can't afford a vet for our birds :( she's no better but no worse than she was. I've been cleaning her wounds twice a day and started putting vasoline on it bc it was getting to dry and cracking causing more wounds. She hasn't been eating or drinking but I got her to drink a little water with vitamins and electrolytes from an eye dropper this morning. Doesn't seem to be infection setting in from what I can tell but I'm not sure if I should give her some Tylan or not
 
Just an update, she is healing up GREAT! I didn't give her Tylan, just washed her wounds 2-3 times a day and is healing faster than I expected
