!!!!URGENT!!!! ROOSTER HAS CUTS ON HIS FACE AND HE WONT STOP BITING THEM!

[ChickenKiera]

My rooster was bit by another rooster on his face twice and today when I saw him, he had blood all over his face and he keeps biting his wattle, I was so scared so I put a wet tissue on his face (on the places that were bloody) to clean him up and then I put sudocrem on his face because we have nothing else to use (even though it is not the best idea). He keeps shaking his and I’ve read that it means that he is in pain. I don’t know how to stop his from biting his wattle and he is my favourite one so I don’t want him to die. We have sections the vicious rooster away so he can’t get to the other one but please forgive me if I have done something wrong I just really want to know how to stop him from being hurt and to stop him from biting his wattle or where to get antibiotics from

ok, calm down, norhings to be gained by panicing , separate them, keep the hurt rooster away from the others, apply non pain killing neosporin or something like that.
how is he bitting his own wattle? maybe pin it up with a bent out Bobby pin ?

My mum works at a hospital and she has some skin glue that she said would work if we put it on his wattle. She said that they use it on animals so it would be fine to put it on him. It’s just him biting it and it not healing that is worrying me the most.

The sudocrem may sting or be bothering him. The label does say that sometimes local hypersensitivity can happen. Plain neosporin will not sting or burn. I don't see anything in your picture that would suggest gluing anything would be necessary. Most comb and wattle injuries, while they can bleed a lot, will heal up just fine. Unless there is a lot of swelling and pus you will most likely not need any antibiotics. Veterycin spray is also good to use, it will not sting or burn either, it's available where any pet supplies are sold, and it's good for any species. From what I can see in your picture, I think he will be OK.

Is he biting his wattles or is he trying to clean the dried blood off?
Separate him out and give him a good cleaning up, dried blood can feel sticky and he may just be trying to get it off his feathers.

He looks o.k. he just needs to be cleaned up.

More concerning to me would be the existing/healing scab on his earlobe. Can you get some triple antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to apply to that? You may have to order it from Amazon UK or similar.

Monitor his wounds, keep him separated and away from the other rooster and see that he's eating drinking.

I’m not sure if he is biting or cleaning the blood off but he grabs it then shakes it, to me it looks like he is biting it and I will try and get that antibiotic you talked about.

I will try and get that spray for him and the other antibiotics I was told about. And I didn’t think that, that glue would work so I won’t use it.

Go get him and wash all the blood off his chest, wattles, etc. See if that helps.
It won't hurt to get some Neosporin though.

Sorry to be annoying but are these the right ones? They were the first 3 that came up. If they aren’t, could you please send a link of the best brand? ( don’t worry if you can’t)

So, you are in the UK?
Veterycin is available there. I'm not personally knowledgeable about the other products you listed, so can't really say if they are safe/good or not. Maybe someone else will know more about those. Veterycin here:
