HELP!!! Dog Bite Wound!

[SkylaSilkie]

My pen was left open by someone who was not me. Anyways, one of my girls, Lucky, has an open wound on her butt. Will she be able to lay again? Should I treat it or let it be? Answers needed now!

Since no one has answered you yet maybe the above thread will be able to help you treat your hen. I do know that dog bites get infected very easily so it's best to get her cleaned up as soon as you can. Good luck. I hope this helps.

Would depend on if her guts or other vital organs are punctured or ripped, really. Dog bites generally can be nasty. Best wishes. If her intestines are opened rather than just exposed, I would most likely cull.

Thanks to you both! She is not only healthy, she is laying again!

Glad to hear it, best wishes to you and your flock.
