Silkie attacked - What to do?

[kgnash]

I came home a few hours ago to find my silkie attacked by a predator. Her neck is stripped to the bone and she is bleeding. I have her in a crate inside the house, and the veterinarian is closed. Suggestions for care and what could have done this. Prognosis in your experience?

Could you add some light to the photo she must be a black silkie having her inside first thing right she is in shock what type betadine or such might you have to wash it even mild soap warm water

Oh my goodness...
Definitely it all depends on the severity of her wounds.
Please check her really good and sadly they will pass away too..

Thank you for responding. I am concerned about picking her up again, because I agree she is in shock. Is it better to let her rest the night and then clean the wounds in am or address them now at the risk of disturbing her. I read that they need water, but I don't know if that will harm her because I can't see the extent of her neck injury. I will attempt to get another photo.

Definitely clean now because bacteria will kill her if not cleaned out properly.

Hard to see wound....is your camera lens dirty?

If at all possible, upload clearer pictures of the wound(s). Fingers crossed she pulls through. Definitely clean the wounds to deter infection from setting up.

She can recover from that clean as I said but soap and water warm to wash then if you have triple antibiotic ointment no painkiller no pain killer

Thank you so much! I cleaned it and bought wound spray at tractor supply this evening. She drank a little water. I am hopeful she will be okay.
