My rooster got attacked by a dog he’s alive but he’s hurt I need help he’s my baby and I want to try and help him

First, I would treat for shock by offering a cup of water with 1 tsp of sugar dissolved. Electrolytes would work as well. Hold it up to his beak to swallow. Keep him warm inside if he is out in the cold. Pictures of any wounds and a description is more helpful. Saline, Hibiclens mixed half with water, or a wound spray such as Vetericyn are all good for treating a wound once he is stable. Neosporin ointment can be applied twice a day to the wounds, once they are cleaned. Can he stand or walk?

Hi, I did some quick research and I’ve also had a chicken that got attacked. You should take your rooster into somewhere quiet and say so it won’t get hurt anymore. Apply gentle pressure with a clean cloth or gauze to any wounds. You can also use cornstarch to help it stop bleeding. Then, clean the wounds. Make sure everything is clean. Then, add an antibiotic. After your rooster cleans, fresh water with electrolytes and maybe a little bit of sugar. Just keep monitoring him and make sure he has good nutritional food and clean water. Make sure he stays warm. If it’s really bad, he might need to go to the vet.

Hi there, I recently had a quick look into this and I can relate to your situation. I had a chicken that was attacked as well. I suggest you take your rooster to a quiet place and inform them about the situation so that it doesn’t get hurt anymore. Gently apply clean cloth or gauze to any wounds. You can also use cornstarch to help stop the bleeding. Afterward, clean the wounds thoroughly. Ensure that everything is clean. Then, I’ll prescribe an antibiotic. Once your rooster has cleaned the wound, provide it with fresh water containing electrolytes and a small amount of sugar. Continuously monitor him and ensure that he has access to nutritious food and clean water. Keep him warm as well. If the condition worsens, it might be necessary to seek veterinary assistance.

Definitely do what he said to do because he’s one of the chicken experts here.
 
Can you see any cuts or breaks in the skin of his leg? Are there wounds or tooth marks on the skin? I would prop him on some rolled towels. Keeping him in a basket or wire dog crate inside would be best.
Edited to say that I would clean the sound with saline or the Hibiclens or wound spray, and apply the Neosporin when it dries. Do not use peroxide or BluKote.
