Chirping
Ok so my hen thought she would try and bully food away from the dog and he got ahold of her right on her upper chest....feathers ripped out and she's ripped open at the top of her chest....she still has some feathers hanging down so it covers it unless u look for it there's no bleeding anywhere but her skin is torn open and there's basically a big hole about the size of a baseball and I can see her muscles and part of her esophagus maybe? She's walking around fine when she does move but she's being very still. This just happened within the hour so I figure she won't eat or drink yet so I'm watching her closely but should I take her to a vet to be stitched up? Nothing is hanging or bleeding and doesnt seem like much was done other than the gazillion feathers snatched out and her skin being torn open but I'm a new turkey mom and honestly just have no clue what to do other than monitor her for now ??? Any and all suggestions and advice is much appreciated please y'all!!??!!
