Yep. Matthew was who alerted me to the noise first.

We just went out there, the boys were standing with Jar Jar. Joshua (who's tenderhearted like Steve) was very upset and just at that time the animal control guy came and took some pictures of the scene.

I just checked Benny over real well. She has a CHUNK taken out of her back...no skin, just muscle and bone. About the size of a silver dollar.

Oh gosh...I don't know what to do!

Oh, dear... maybe you can bandage up Benny and give her a chance? It seems too awful to lose all of them at once.

Oh dear... I hope it's not too bad but it sounds like it is. I've never had a lot of luck nursing anything (birds, rabbits) that've been attacked by one of the cats. The injury and the trauma is just too much.

I think I remember putting neosporin on a chicken that got attacked by a dog...might work.

Ours have never been pets like yours...that makes it so much harder. I hate irresponsible dog owners.

I'd pour peroxide on it.

If you think quick veterinary care would save her, it's winnable in small claims, but you'd have to pay for it and just hope for reimbursement later.
