Injured black maran

[Shyer895]

Hi I have a chicken who was attacked by a raccoon a week and a day ago. She has two injuries under her wings almost punctured like. She is currently not able to walk very well on her own and eating and drinking with help. Is there any hope of getting better? I don’t want to make her suffer if she can’t recover.

All I can say is keep her inside. I hopefully others will jump in to help you more!

Wishing you and your hen the best!

She is currently isolated in warm bedding with access to food and water. She seems to be getting better everyday so I’m really hoping she eventually can return to normal! Thank you

It would be good to see pictures of the injuries/ puncture wounds. Clean wounds with saline, Vetericyn or weak Betadine, and then apply plain Triple antibiotic ointment twice a day.

We have been using veterycin and giving probiotics and electrolytes. Will send a picture of the wounds. Thanks

These are the wounds under both wings so my question is is the yellow a sign of fibrin or infection?
