Raccoon attack

[ashleyvw90]

Hello, this morning I unfortunately discovered there was a raccoon attack in my coop. My husband woke up to the dog barking at 5:30 and let her out, she ran out to the coop and I came out and saw feathers everywhere, we assumed she was gone until I heard a commotion from the hens this afternoon and went outside and saw her walking around. She's a 3 year old lorp and I saw some blood on her head but could not locate any deep punctures. She has been acting very lethargic, not eating and drinking very little. I did give her some Pedialyte and baby Motrin by syringe. I have isolated her with the one other lorp we have, we have 3 brahmas. Should I keep the other lorp with her or put the other lorp with the brahmas? The other lorp(not the one attacked) is kind of the "runt" and gets picked on the most so didn't think it would be a problem to leave her with her but not sure. Also if anyone has any advice on how to help her, I did read to try and antibiotic cream like Neosporin which I will pick up tomorrow, but any other advice is highly appreciated!

She is likely in shock. Offer scrambled eggs if you can. Or regular feed wetted down.
I would definitely put triple antibiotic (without the added pain relief in it) on any wounds.
It does sound to me like it wouldn't hurt to keep the other lorp with her.

How is she doing now?

I'd work her through shock. Giving the Pedialyte is a good idea, getting her hydrated is important. Once hydrated, then offer food.

Inspect her really well for injuries, look all through her feathers, under the wings, etc.

Any wounds or abrasions should be cleaned. You can use Saline, Hibiclens (Chlorhexidine) or similar. Then apply triple antibiotic ointment to wounds.
