This morning I found my seabright rooster on the ground level of his and his girls pen. He had both his eyes swollen shut and had multiple cuts all over his head.i had to put him in the bathroom with his partner, he can't see anything so she's helping him find food and water. I have some Terramycin from a different roosters eye injury and I picked up some antibiotic ointment for his ear and cuts. I put electrolyte in his water and gave him my some of my chicks starter. I made soupy stuff for him to eat with the chick starter, he will eat it out of a dropper. I'm making sure he's drinking with a dropper. What else can I do for him to be comfortable and we'll cared for? What could happen to his eyes? If his eye injuries are worse than it seams could he become blind? What's the worst outcome?(other than death)
Both his eyes look like that.
P.s
His 'wife' is taking good care of him. She's calling him like he is a chick and isn't pecking him.
ETA: what could have done this? I live in Florida(incase you didn't want to scroll back up) fox? Opossum? Cat?

I have to put some yogurt on a pice of bread for him to eat. He won't drink on his own, since he can open one eye and his sight is impaired, he can't figure out the water. I have a question, is this a normal poop, for an injured bird?
