EMERGENCY! Rooster needs help to keep surviving

[tonsofchickens66]

View attachment 1655323 My rooster which is about to turn 2 years old. My neighbors got him and made him fight with two other roosters and I didn’t know. My rooster is badly injured. His left eye is swollen and his white eye lid is poking out and can’t close it. His right eye is closed shut covered with blood and is a scab so he can’t open it. His feathers on his head are gone. He is having a hard time breathing. He can’t lift his head up for more than a few seconds and than he has to bring his head down and rest it and he loses his balance. His nostrils are covered by scans of blood. And when I give him water so much saliva comes out and fills his mouth and then it’s harder for him to breathe. His red flap on his his(idk what it’s called) it’s covered in blood. His face is swollen so much. He tries to stand but almost falls and has to rest his head. Idk if his neck is broken. All the people who treat chickens charge 1000 dollars and I can’t afford it. It pains my heart to see him like that. He is my baby in my heart. If he dies Idk what I’m gonna do in my life. The right side is just covered in blood and scabs. PLEEEEEEAAAASE HELP ME AND HIM

I know it may be hard to hear this, but maybe the best option is to wait and see. from my experience, there really is not much you can do. just try to make it as peaceful as you can for him, maybe get him set up in a comfortable, quiet area. and as aart said, do not try to put water in his mouth, but leave it nearby. and BTW YOUR NEIGHBORS ARE AWFUL!! i am so sorry that you have to deal with something like this.

Glad to hear that he is responding, eating, and doing better. Hoping that he recovers, and good that your parents are there for support.

Now you need to get some rest too. So you can be ready to help him again tomorrow. Will you stay home from school or can your mom or dad stay with him. Get some rest now. He's getting better thanks to you.

I will stay home from school. His life is more important than missing a few days so I know he is fully recovered

Ok now that you know you will be taking care of him tomorrow try to rest now so you can continue your good care. Good night.

Have YOU had something to eat. Don't worry I won't ask about the other thing. LOL

He is sleeping so much better and normal again. It actually makes me cry to see him be comfortable again. Oh but he sat down really quick and it kinda scared me

Looking forward to your updates tomorrow! Take care and get yourself some rest too... you need to be in decent shape yourself to give him the best care you can. I know how hard it is to take time, but you need it too.

And remember, lots of people here are morning people, so we might be checking in again at some ridiculous hour of the AM, and there’s also the potential time differences, at least that’s what I’m hoping when I see someone posted at 4 AM... You are doing great and it’s good to hear he’s doing better!
