My chicken just got attacked by my dog. HELP!!!

[starri33]

I am currently nursing a injured chick with wounds similar to yours, attacked by flock mates, what I did was get him here, allow him to rest and then address cleaning and putting medication on the wounds, I used hibclen's to first wash him, then rinsed, used peroxide, after that I used antibiotic ointment, He's eating and drinking fine, give him some scrambled egg for extra protein.. currently on chick starter and just plain water.

I don't really have any medical supplies...I cleaned the wound with peroxide and wrapped it...

Don't use peroxide again. Do you have some neosporin? You can put that on her. Give her some cooked egg. She needs protein to heal. I would separate her as your other chickens will probably peck at her. My ISABrown got attacked by a dog. On her neck and got a bit of her comb. This happened before I got her. She has a bald spot at the top of her neck in the back. Seems to have recovered fine. Doesn't bother her nor does the cold. Feather never grew back. I'd keep her warm. Maybe a barn or garage. Chickens are tough and they usually recover well. Good luck And keep that dog away from your chickens. They don't attack to eat just of fun.

THANK YOU ALL FOR HELPING ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Keep an eye on her poop. Watch for dark red and/or black poop, an indication of internal bleeding. Also listen close up to her breathing; for wheezing or whistling, an indication of a ruptured air sac.

Great! I will!!! Thank you for your help!!!!!

Let us know how she is once you’re both up.

Okay! I am up now!

She's doing okay!

She doesn't seem to be any better today.
She's not eating or drinking. I'm worried about her. She hasn't stood up yet and is just laying there.
I looked closer at her wound on her back and it looks like there's a pretty big chuck taken out and they bone appears to be snapped and sorta showing....there was also a little blood coming out of it today. I dont think she has even pooped yet......

Can you get some clear pictures of her injuries? Would a vet be an option?
