Hens leg is limp, cold. Please help!!

[festivalcat]

Posted this morning looking for advice... maybe somebody can help this time. My hen was attacked by a dog this morning and has wounds on her neck and under one wing. Her right leg is stuck straight out and completely limp. It is very cold and I am not sure what to do at this point. I'm worried it's too late to help her. I can move the leg and she doesn't react. Her toes are loosely curled and she isn't moving it at all. I don't think she can. Please help.

I'm really sorry to hear about that.

It sounds like she is still in shock. Keep her warm, wash out her wounds. Her leg may be dislocated or broken, and she may be getting an infection.
