HELP! chick attacked

[colincrompton]

so our ten month old dog got to our chick auburn, and licked her a lot, when I found her she was very scared, had a wound on her head, soaking wet feathers and some bruise spots.

what should I do!

I would gently bathe her in mildly soapy water, dry on low with a hair dryer (or just wrapped in a towel), separate and keep overnight in a warm, darkened spot indoors, then go from there. You can use neosporin or similar on any obvious open wound after the bath.

thank you for your help, she seems a lot better now, about how long should we keep her separate?
