2 days ago my rooster was outside on my porch when a opossum tried to grab him, as far as I can tell he has no wounds, it looks like he just lost some feathers. We had gotten out there super fast and at that point he seemed fine, just a little shaken up. I went and put him in the coop for the night and when I went to let him out in the morning one of his eyes was foggy. We put medicine in it and let him out to wander.
This morning he was just sitting in the middle of the yard so I went to get him and see if he was okay. When I started to look at him I discovered his other eye was foggy. I also noticed the first eye that was foggy has white spots, maybe cataracts? It may have been there yesterday but he would hardly open it so I'm not sure. Also his pupils are odd shaped, they are long, almost like a goats.
He was very weak, not much in this crop, so I brought him some sugar water and chicken food, he wont eat or drink them. He seems lighter than yesterday too. He is not tame whatsoever but didnt fight me hardly on picking him up. He is very very weak. What should I do for him and what does it seem like it wrong with him?
