One of my younger doves was attacked by a rat last night. He has a large wound on his neck, it looks like the rat was trying to bite through it. I'm not really sure how to go about treating it? He also has a small injury on his right bottom eyelid. It's really tiny so I'm not very concerned...

I have three Free roosters,Two Sebright/Mottled Cochin Crosses and one Mottled Cochin. They are all free, together or separate. They are bantams so they are small. They are beautiful and lovable. All are tame and have different levels of friendliness. If you're interested in adopting one...
