Hen got attacked by fox! Help!

The SWAT will keep the flies out.

This is the stuff. I put neosporin first and then topped it with this.

Poor girl. You have been given some good advice. Be very generous with the antibiotic ointment, especially with the deep puncture wound. You want to make sure it gets all the way down in the wound. The yellow wound seems like more fatty tissue than infection but give it a deep smell. If it stinks, it's infected and you may need to do injectable antibiotics. If she is eating and drinking, that's the best sign she is recovering.

Ok I will. She went outside with the rest of the chickens and is eating and drinking so that is good! I haven't seen the fox since when they were attacked. Is he gonna come back and try to get them again?

Most definitely.

 

[Smokey2201]

Most definitely.

Oh! Is there any way to keep him from coming back?

Shoot him or keep your girls locked up.

Flush them with peroxide and apply ointment twice a day. My dogs got into a fight and had to do this for one of them. It really works!!!

 

[Smokey2201]

She is doing great! I haven't seen the fox yet. She is eating and drinking and walking around with the rest of the flock.

My chickens got attacked two nights ago. Only one died. Most of them are fine and back to their normal selves, but there is one other that has a wound. Thanks so much! I will try these things. Hope she survives!
