My mother relayed me a story from her past, where she had a chicken that got bitten by a dog in the behind and developed an infection as a result. It got infested with maggots and she had to clean it out and nurse it back to health. When she was done, the cloaca (or whatever it is called) was healed shut and the chicken couldn't lay eggs properly.
Somehow, that story made me sad. Btw, this story happened several decades ago in the Anatolian countryside, so going to the vet for a chicken would be unrealistic, as in, there were many PEOPLE who couldn't go to the doctor, let alone small animals. But assuming it was in a place where veterinary care is easy to access and money being no issue, what could've been done to ameliorate the suffering of the bird? Is euthanasia/slaughter the only good option?
