Injuries Rooster



I really need some advice here. I notice a difference in his friskiness and everything but he still doesn’t try and move and his head
 
Can you get some better photos of the inside of his beak?
Is his crop emptying overnight?

Does this fluid/snot have a bad odor? Can you wipe out the material that's inside his beak?


Trying to determine if he has Canker, yeast or if that can possibly be a buildup of wet feed inside his beak if he's having difficulty eating.
The snot is gone and didn’t have a bad odor at all.
 
It's only been 3 days, you will have to give him time to recover.
Almost all Silkies have a hole in their head due to the way their skull is made. If they suffer even small traumas, it can cause neurological symptoms.

Keep him hydrated and eating. Try feeding him like the video shows you. Make sure to get the suggested vitamins into him - those are supportive nutrients to help target neurological symptoms.

I'm sorry he's not showing a lot of improvement. Birds can recover from very serious injury, but it does require time (weeks?months?), patience and specialized care.
 
It doesn’t smell really but it keeps getting snotty! I used a cotton all to get all the snot? Off of his beak.But he’s doing so much better. Last 5 days when I open the cage he doesn’t even move till I touch him. He had his head lifted today. Sorry I’m so ridiculous, but this has been extremely stressful. Doctor said he was good as dead but I didn’t want to give up on him

What are you feeding him? Is he getting fluids? Is he pooping? What's the poop like?

Clean the mucous from his beak. Get fluids into him. Prop him up. Get some vitamins into him.
If he doesn't respond soon, then do consider putting him out of his misery. I understand it's a difficult thing to do, but you don't want to prolong suffering either.

Yesterday we had a good day! He was sitting up and was even making noises at me. But today his comb doesn’t look at red as it normally does. But I did get a tooth pick and Q tips and cleaned out his mouth of all the food that was building up. I wondered if the darkening of the comb is normally?

So feed is building up inside the beak - is that what it is? Then is he pooping ok?

Darkening of the comb can be due to lack of oxygen.
