Can a chick have multiple ruptures? We let the air out of one side last night and it seems she is developing one on the other side now...or maybe it was there last night and we just didn't see it because the other one was bigger.
And I have come to realize that it was my dog.....seems he is great with large chickens but he must have a weakness for chicks. He is now tied until I can fix the issue with the chicks door.

Sometimes you have to stick them a couple of times until the rupture heals, to let the air out. The air will tend to localize to any spot with the least resistance, so it could have been from the first injury. Sometimes they can inflate so much that they look like baby chick balloons.

Oh! Well, I will have to get my husband to poke her again. Yes, she does look like a little chick balloon...poor thing! Thanks for your help!
