My nephew Rostislav was the first to notice the bird in the dog. He called his mom, and she took the chick and brought it to me. This is a crake kid who can't fly yet, but runs wonderfully. Unfortunately, he was unable to escape from the dog and received many open wounds. A hole in the neck, the skin on the head and at the base of the tail is torn off. To the touch, the arms and legs are intact, the wounds are almost healed by morning. But it is impossible to release such a bird. The saliva of cats and dogs contains the deadly bacterium pasteurella for birds. In the presence of any scratch and wound inflicted by a cat or dog, it is necessary to undergo a course of antibiotics.
The necessary antibiotic was prescribed to crake by a veterinarian treating birds, @Valentin Kozlitin. Treatment of birds.
I described the problem, reported the weight of the bird, Valentin indicated which antibiotic was needed and in what dosage.
Now 4 days 3 times a day it is necessary to drink out the medicine, then it will be possible to release the crake. Unless, of course, he dies from internal injuries, which are not excluded. I hope everything will be fine.
