Rooster was attack by wild animal. Now is hunched eyes closed mouth open not eating or drinking.

My chickens where attacked by something the other day when we where out. By the time we got home it was dark and we could not find the rooster tell the next say. He has no visible injuries on the outside besides missing feather. He is has his nick tucked in eyes closed and mouth open. He has not eaten or drank water on his own. We where able to get some water in him. I got some cord to give him in hopes it would help. But I want to dose him directly and am not sure on what the correct dosage is. Can someone please help? Thanks

Have you treated him for shock yet? A teaspoon of sugar with a pinch of salt and a pinch of baking soda to one cup of water. Try to get him to drink it or syringe it in his mouth. If you have electrolytes, that would be good also. You've not been able to find any external wounds or injuries anywhere? Was he behaving normally prior to this event?

Others with more knowledge will be here soon to help you further. Best of luck.

I agree definitely looks like shock, hopefully someone with a bit more knowledge will aid in what to do besides prebiotics additives.

No he doesn't need to drink the entire thing. That's the mixture I've seen here prescribed many times for shock. Just try to get him to drink as much as you can, or gently syringe in his mouth if he won't drink on his own.
Have you tried to offer a scrambled egg to see if he has interest in eating that?

I was able to get some electrolyte and prebiotic to put in the water and i also got Corid. But read somewhere not to mix them all together. So I hoping I could just give the corid right in his mouth and not mixed in to water.
Does anyone have any advice on this?
