Rescued a chicken from an attack - never owned chickens before :(

Find a feed store. She needs injectable Penicillin if she has been bitten. Cat saliva contains a germ that will kill a bird in a week. Dosage is 2.5cc injected in the chest muscle. Tylan is generally for respiratory problems.

Here's a link on how to give penicillin injection using penicillin G procaine (scroll down in post #2.) A feed store should have it. Also it can be ordered from Jefferslivestock.com or call them. You'll need a syringe with needle as well...it's best to purchase several for injecting the penicillin.

I would do Penicillin too. But probably 0.25-0.5 ml injection. I think 2.5 ml is a typo, LOL
