Urgent. Sick Rooster Lying down w labored breathing in isolation cage.

I agree, I'd let him rest.
Get some photos of him and his poop in daylight.

Wrapping the foot is o.k., but be sure the wrappings are not too tight and cut off circulation.

I would not work on resolving the bumblefoot until he's in better condition.

Thank you!

The comd is purple due to lowered circulation and could be a number of things. Does he have nasal discharge or watery eyes?

 

[DeezyPeasy]

No watery eyes. No discharge. Breathing better today. Comb redder. Eating and drinking.

Could you post an updated picture in good light on what his comb looks like normally?

We got him with no tail feathers.

Glad that he is doing much better.

Glad you will be seeing the vet, keep us posted on how he's doing.

What I was going to say has already been said, foot is definitely bumblefoot, I had a young bird die from it in November. I have no idea about the butt though.

Hope the bird is ok, and please keep us updated!

Thank you everyone! His comb is red. He’s eating like a lil monster and poops look solid and within normal range. Seeing doc today for the bumblefoot and butt. I will keep you posted.
I love this group and am grateful!
Btw he needs to get back out to the flock, the hens are a disaster without him.
