My almost 2 year old rooster was attacked my a neighbors dog Friday afternoon. My chickens were not free roaming, the dog found a way in the fence of the run. I lost 2 hens, and my big boy Boss, the main rooster, took the blunt of it all. He's got massive feather loss, 2 semi deep puncture wounds, and some torn skin. I've been cleaning the wounds with peroxide and using antibiotic ointment. I have also used blu kote. Now just yesterday I noticed a smell and one of his deeper puncture wounds was getting a little pussy. What else should I try to use to help with the infection he's developed? I've also have him drinking some aspirin water mix and electrolyte water mix.
He also has a bum leg. He will put pressure on it but he's not up and walking like usual. He does move himself throughout his cage. He is eating and drinking just fine. Poop looks normal and his attitude is still there so should I be worried that he's not standing up much?
