HELP!!!! Chicken attacked by Dog has Air filled body!!

[rossfam06]

Hey guys!! I need some help. I have a blue cochin cockeral who was attacked by my black lab because he got out of the run. He has very minor injuries on his back. She pulled feathers out more than hurt him. Now he seems to be swelling with air!!!! only on his right side. Should I try and release the air out? Any advise or help would be much appreciated!!!! Thank You!

I also answered you on the other thread. Is the swelling getting worse? I wouldn't try to release it unless he's having trouble breathing.

He seems fine at this point. Only squeals in pain when I try and look at it. So I stop. But he is chirping and making his "happy Im sleeping chirp".....So I guess wait it out.
