Last week my Wyndotte hen, Sharon was grabbed by a dog. She only had a small wound on her back, but seemed very shocky. I cleaned her up, have seperated her and have been caring for her since. What a sweet heart she has been. I'm giving her extra vitamins and electrolytes, which she loves. But after a week, she doesn't seem much better. She's not eating great. She will gobble down scrambled eggs and pieces of banana, but won't touch her crumbles or scratch. The wound is healing nicely, but, something is not quite right. I'm wondering if she's depressed not being with the flock, but I'm hesitant to put her back with the wound not quite healed, and with her not eating properly. Any suggestions?
I have not had her on antibiotics. I don't have any baytril. What else could I give her if anything?
Thanks for any words of wisdom.

Sounds like you are taking really good care of her. I guess the only thing I would be concerned about would be possible internal injuries, but it seems like she would be getting worse, not staying the same.
You are doing the right thing keeping her isolated right now.
Maybe you could try to mix some of her regular food in with the mashed up eggs.
I hope she completely recovers soon.
