What Sjisty said plus if you put the sugar betadine mix on a thick piece of gauze and tape it to the comb but over the wound it should hold the comb up and keep the mix on the wound.

Thank you also ChickensAreSweet (I agree 100% with your screen name!) and BarnChickyOO.
Indeed, at the moment his health is obviously THE most important thing (regardless of whether we'll be breeding him or not), so we will see how everything goes, and if it will have to be dubbed, we won't hesitate to have it done. I just hope and pray that he gets better and the comb is fit to be operated.
Was just wondering if there is a way to keep the comb up meanwhile, to have more air on the wound. You know, sort of like a Elizabethan collar for dogs, only of a different shape and function. But apparently it hasn't been invented yet for roosters, I guess....
Also I wanted to add that if you attempt dubbing yourself I would definitely have some blood stop powder on hand (personally I don't know if I could do it myself since it is such a large comb but then I have never dubbed)- one of the posters on the above thread mentioned it. I have used blood stop powder before, though.https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/138579/dubbing-oeg-combs-wattles
I found this thread...you may have already seen it.
