Please help!! My baby chick has been attacked by a dog

[Roselyin]

Hi my chick has just been attacked by a dog she’s just over a week old it’s nipped her under her wing and just above her leg there was bleeding but I've managed to stop it I've put some antiseptic spray on her wound but I’m worried that’s not enough she walked after it happened she’s also chirping but I think she’s in pain is there anything I can do?

I’m not sure that there’s a whole lot you can do other than wait and see what happens now. I’ve heard of giving chickens a little boost of like electrolytes or something like that but I wouldn’t try that until someone else verifies that you indeed can do that. As far as the wound goes, you’ve done really all you can by cleaning it. You probably could wrap it with some pet wrap but I think it’s fine left open too, as long as it isn’t getting full of dirt.

Yes, clean the wound and I suggest NutriDrench or electrolytes because the chick is prob very stressed. Keep it away from other chickens and apply antibiotic ointment or saline to the wound to prevent infection

Make sure to keep the chick away from the other chicks. I have seen them hasten the demise of many a compromised compatriot.
I agree with everything said above.

The great news is, if this chick makes it, you will be so very bonded. The first 24 hours will tell. Keep the wound clean and put some antibiotic ointment on it.
