    Dog attack. Open back wound

    My hen was attacked by a dog which pulled out all her tail feathers and left a nasty gash on her back. So far I am going to clean her off and wash the wounds with peroxide and cover with triple antibiotic ointment and cover with gauze. Is this the right thing to do? Will this heal?

    Stray dog attack/open back wound care

    My rooster was attacked last Tuesday by a stray dog. He successfully defended the flock, not a hen was hurt. It flayed his back open, exposing muscle. I have been flushing his wound with saline, packing with neosporin, then an absorbent pad secured with vet wrap. I am having trouble keeping his...

    About 5 months ago our downhill neighbors adopted a couple of dogs (large breed). They turned out to be escape artists and before the owners finally curtailed them, they had escaped and wandered up my property while I was out. I mistakenly left my hens unattended (never again!) as I thought a...

    Serious Dog Attack (GRAPHIC PICTURES)

    While I was at work a neighbor's kids trespassed on the land and their dog got into the chicken pen. My landlord was able to scare the mutt away before any of them were killed.
