Sos dog attacked. Torn butt

You can google it

You can google for confirmation, this is a somewhat rare occurrence, however it is textbook vent removal by other hens.
I would take Google with a grain of salt. Textbook vent removal? Its very uncommon for other birds to attack others to this extent. If she was injured there with visible damage, blood, etc, I could see why this may happen. If she is healthy with no injuries in the location prior, I highly doubt other birds were the main cause here.
Anyway, this is beside the point. Lets steer back on track to helping OP make the best decision for this hen.
 
That is not from a dog, unfortunately hens can be aggressive to other hens. They will sometimes do what you pictured to another hen. This is also a fatal wound as the vent has been removed.
I have video cameras and saw a dog in our yard before I got home. She was in shock still when i finally made it home 10 min later.

You are correct, however this wound is fatal. The vent has been completely removed. Honestly she is suffering right now, and there is no way to repair this type of damage. I have performed surgeries on prolapse hens successfully, the vent for this girl is completely gone.
 
Did you clean it??
I'm not really sure what happened to her or if I'm allowed to also post about turkeys however I came home to her butt torn open from what I can only assume if from the neighbor's dog. I'm not sure if she will survive. I separated her from the flock I just need some advice on what to do from here. I have also spayed it with salt water to clean the area and help prevent infection.

Best I can do cleaning it currently trying to figure out if she can survive this before I put her in a salt bath dont want to cause her more pain.
