2009 Omlet cube and run for sale

[jddm]

I came home this afternoon and couldn't find one of my new ex batts. Found her finding in the hedgehog house, she was injured, her skin on her neck is hanging loose (almost skinned - sounds awful to discribe like that) bad cut by her right eye and another cut 'wide open' just above the crop. I have bathed her cuts with diluted hibiscrub and have dressed it and taped it up. She is now housed indoors but looks like shes going into shock. What should i do know?

 

I'm not sure if she was attacked by one of my old chooks or one of my rabbits (all in together). Not sure what to do?

crikey that sounds nasty

 

The best thing you can do for her is to encourage her to go in to roost mode, shutting her in a dark (ventilated) box in a warm room is best leave her completely alone for some hours, she will be fine without water for up to about 16 hours or so, rest is the most important as she can sleep off the shock hopefully

 

If she is up and about tomorrow I'd try her with some soaked corn then some water

 

She sounds like she will need vet attention for the wounds or at least some antibiotics

Any news? How did she get on?
