hurt chicken

[baycenter]

My 3month old hen got her skin and feathers pulled off by a dog today, I cleaned it and put some blu-kote on the wound its an antiseptic protective wound dressing. I put an aspirin in her water and clean bedding also put a heat light in her cage. What else should i do?

how big is the wound?

It sounds to me like you have it pretty well covered, just keep her warm and protected from the elements and hope for the best,

was it a neighbor's dog?

no it was my dogs, and they got out somehow, well i was at the store.

thanks for the advice
