My hen has sustained a bad dog attack to her back. She is conscious, wounds cleaned, warm and indoors in a kennel with me. Did not eat or drink last night. This is a terrible injury and although I don't think LeGrande is going to survive, I have to give her the best chance I can.
Please advise the basics for shock. Do I give her any sugar in her water to help drop in blood sugar? Do I manually administer water with a syringe? I would like to begin antibiotics immediately (attack was last night)...which antibiotic and dosage?
I'm sorry to be ignorant right now. I've moved, all my chicken books are packed and I haven't been on the forum in over two years of uneventful and happy chicken-rearing.
Please help me save LeGrande.
