Prayers she makes it thru the night!

I'll say a prayer for chicken. So sorry to hear what happened. Keep the wound clean and keep her warm and hydrated. Best of luck. I know how you feel. I love my chickens too and would be devastated if anything happened to them

just so sad and stressed out I love my chickens. I am an animal lover but not feeling very lovey to this dog that did this!!!!!!

The owner who did not control his dog is to blame more than the dog.

They are young and immature. They are renting the house everything is always someone else's problem.

Went to tsc got a heat lamp and some emt gel. Put it on her wound. Shes now in tote with heat lamp on her.

Question about heat lamp... can it get too hot? Can we leave it on her all night or what's best to do???

 

[nab58]

yes, it can get too hot. Normally, the bird will move away from the heat if too warm, but if your bird is injured it may not be able to. I used a thermometer in the tub to measure the temp.

 

[jlj1212]

What temp should the lamp get?
Should we turn it off at night? ??
She's in basement with lamp on her right now should we move her to spare bedroom or bathroom over night?

It's scary dealing with an injury like that. I hope she made it through the night. Let us know.

 

[jlj1212]

So she survived the night. We gave her some scrambled eggs this morning like the lady at tsc told us to. She started to eat when I was down thwew with her just came home during my lunch to chck on her and she hasn't touched her food since then. Think she's not eating be cause she's stressed to be seperated or cuz she's dying???

Just that she made it through the night and ate something is probably a good sign.Hopefully some one with a little more knowledge will chime in.
