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

[Animals45]

It is kind of dark out right now but I can try!

 

[Animals45]

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

I can't get any pictures right now because it's dark here, can I get some in the morning?

Do you have your bird inside where it’s warm and safe?
Please try to get some pictures tomorrow.
Pictures are very helpful to all the BYC members.
They help some people learn. For others, they can look at a wound and make good suggestions on what is the best path for treating a sick or injured animal based on their own experiences.

If there is a bone broken, i want you to understand that it’s location and severity can greatly affect the outcome of this injury.

I’m hoping for the best possible resolution though.
Keep the faith.

If at all possible, a sick or injured animal will fare better if brought inside.
I know it’s a pain, but even a big cardboard box will do in a pinch. It allows closer observation by you of their condition, and allows them to eat, rest, and heal in a warm, quiet environment without the fear factor of vulnerability.
Plus if kept in the coop with their flock mates, a badly injured bird is at high risk of being attacked or even killed by the others who are normally their friends.

Often a spare room or a bathroom especially, makes a good hospital room for a chicken. They are generally warm, have a door that closes properly, and are easy to clean.

Short video.
I don't know if you'll be able to tell anything by it though.
