Hi Emily- I had a chicken that suffered a dog attack- If her neck is clean, you might not need to do anything other than keep an eye on it. If it has a wound you can try a couple of things- a warm saline rinse( 10 parts water to 1 part salt- mix well), then apply a small amount of triple antibiotic lotion- you'll need to rub it in- and don't leave on too much as I am sure she might just eat some! If the skin has any open areas or smells then you need to do more drastic care- you can look at my post of dog attack to get the full wound care that I did on my chickne who has a full skin tear and see if that helps. Hope that this helps you!
