Sick chicken help asap please

Your hen may take one or two months to be back to normal from just the trauma of the attack. She may be less social and not want to leave her box. I have a couple hens that were dog attacked, and they are back to normal, but the wounds healed faster than the trauma for one of them.
One more question lol she hasn't eatin today, i did give her some water but she wont take food out of my hand at the moment. Any suggestions?
She should eat if you have food in a place she wont be bothered by roosters.

She may require a routine where you feed her every night privately, other chickens will stress her out at first. Over time she should become social again but it takes a while.

Make sure her crop is watery at night and not doughy in the morning. Should be empty in the morning.

She is lethargic and gurgling, i don't think this is trauma related. I only have 2 hens no roosters and she didnt move from the coop all morning (she has been up and about everyday since the attack until today) ive since brought her inside and tried to feed her, shes currently sitting in the front yard with me and still hasnt eatin. Her crop is barely noticeable :/

Definitely continue with your medication. Sounds like it is quiet enough for her to recover.

I hope she recovers soon.
 
the best antibiotic for this is enrofloxacin liquid given daily orally for ten days - say vet has this - whether or not they will give it to you is another matter
