We just had a fox pick up one of our hens and I was able to notice from the house. Our dog chased off the fox and he dropped the hen. She seemed totally fine at first except her bowel area was a bit large looking and she leaned forward when she walked. This happened yesterday. This morning I checked on her and about a fingers length of her intestine was hanging out of the cloaca. I have never seen this before and I washed it and gently pushed it back in. The area seems very inflamed and she is not moving much and still leaning forward.
Will this heal or should I put her down? I do not want her to suffer and a vet is not really an option. I can update with a picture later if needed but had to run go work.
She is a golden laced Wyandotte about 1 year old and had been a normal laying hen before this.
