chicken

Q. my chicken got frightened by a dog yesterday. she is a bit quiet today.do you think she has had a heart attack.what is the symptoms? thanks

Generally if a chicken is frightened by a dog and had a heart attack she would not have survived, there is a chance however that she has suffered shock and in this case would be very quiet, often they fluff themselves up and are dull and lethargic.  I would advise keeping her warm and quiet and closely watch her.  Encourage her to eat and drink and if you are not happy get her seen by a vet
