Bobcat Attack - Chicken not drinking

[Elteadoes]

My sweet little Naked Neck got attacked by a bobcat yesterday and ofcourse had the most damage to her neck the whole ordeal was about 15 seconds from when they alerted me to when I was carrying her in the house and assessing the damage

I immediately sprayed with chlorhexidene and put her in a warm dark dog kennel with water with sugar and poultry cell and some scrambled egg she ate a tiny bit of the egg but I don't think she's drinking any water

This morning she is struggling and unfortunately I think on her way out. I found her on her back w/ legs straight out so I thought she was gone and then I went to pick her up and she popped back up she isn't keeping her head up and has liquid/foam coming from her mouth periodically so I kept dipping her beak to get her to drink something and she got annoyed with me a walked to the back of the coop - and ofcourse through all this she laid an egg last night

All that to say I think it's time I dispatch her but just wanted to see if anyone had a gal make it through this to give me hope

Ok, those aren't too bad but she's likely going to need some antibiotics.
If you can make something to support her from flipping and syringe vitamin water, she should be ok

I was actually surprised to see her standing up but she's laid back down now I am terrified of syringing water because of how easy it is to aspirate them it feels like a lose lose if she doesn't drink she dies or I potentially drown her grrrrr

Coat the wound with triple antibiotic and keep her in a safe place, that's not that serious of a wound. If you don't want to syringe liquids into her, try dipping her beak in a little cup of sugar water. Get her hydrated before worrying about her eating. Sugar water is for shock, deal with that first.

Drowning is not a very humane way to dispatch any animal, please look up "broomstick method."

She just passed about 30 min ago I definitely think she had internal injuries

I'm so sorry for your loss. It's incredibly hard losing a chicken...
