I had a pack of wild dogs break into my coop today and wiped out my entire flock. 11 large birds, 6 frizzle bantams. One of the frizzle bantam hens was surprising still alive, barely. I brought her in the house at about 9:00 this morning (right after I discovered the horrible attack). She was flapping her wings and making noise when I picked her up. I brought her inside and checked her over for injuries, she has a large gash across her lower back and another on the side of her neck. I cleaned the wounds and wrapped her up to keep her warm but she seems to be getting worse. She is unresponsive when I pick her up, she just lays with her eyes closed and doesn't move. She was making a gurgling sound when she breathes and had some blood coming out of her mouth earlier, but that seems to have stopped. She hasn't eaten or drank anything all day.
So I am worried about what I should do from here. I don't know if I should just let her rest or if I may have to put her out of her misery. Please someone help!!
