Hi can someone please help me ASAP my chicken was just attacked by a neighbor's dog like 10 mins ago I need to know what i can do if anything at all. Please somebody I DO NOT want to lose her, she is my own hatch-ling so she is extra special, but i also do not want her to suffer either.

As deep and severe as that is, if possible take her to a vet ASAP...

i have been trying to call them but their phone is busy we live in a small town and the office is 35 mins away si i am trying to see if they will even see her

 

[Ravynscroft]

If they're not answering I'd just take her over there and try... that wound looks very deep and dog tooth punctures are known for getting infections really easy...

i am about to leave now

You can do surgery yourself if no vet is available. I've done it with my hen .

My rooster has gigantic spurs and I believe this was done while mating.

I did what I had to do and study YouTube videos of surgeons.
Then I used what I had available, a needle for clothes and a regular thread.

Yes yes yes, it looks like Crap but she wouldn't stand still.
12 stitches, she screamed 4 times and twice got away from my hands which is difficult to hold her with my knees and use one hand to keep her skin together and the other for surgery.

Very pleased to say, she is doing much BETTER!

If possible, go to any drug store and get hydrogen peroxide to wash away ALL bacteria from the wound.
Just pour it all over the wound.
It kills bacteria

Let me know how she's doing. It's severe but it's possible to stitch her meat. Then her skin.
Wish I was there .
