Sorry for your loss.

I’m sorry no one else replied to your thread in the last 2 days. I have been pretty busy, just answering threads here or there. As I said earlier I have no experience with canker or the bleeding from the plaques becoming dislodged. I’m glad the bleeding has stopped. You could resume the ACS if...

I am sorry. Yes, plaques coming loose or being removed can bleed a great deal. The sinus cavity is directly connected to the roof of the beak and behind the eye, so it is possible to all be connected. I am not sure how to stop the bleeding except with pressure at the source of bleeding. Let us...

I have never used ACS, but I will tag @azygous and @dawg53 for any advice. Plain Greek yogurt has probiotics, and you can get some Probios or generic probiotics at feed stores. The human ones have many of the same beneficial ones as well. I have read that you can give probiotics while treating...

I think it would be very hard to deal with a hen having these issues with the yellow plaques and all of the mucus. She seems to have a good food drive still. The mucus increases when she is eating, and some may drain from her sinuses through the cleft in the roof of her beak. I haven’t dealt...

I thought I had posted links, but here are a couple: https://jedds.com/products/acidified-copper-sulfate-animal-science https://meyerhatchery.com/products/Acidified-Copper-Sulfate-16-ounce-p156348610#

Besides metronidazole, acidified copper sulfate is sometimes used to treat canker. Dosage is 1/4 tsp per gallon of water in a plastic or non-metal waterer for 3 or more days.

That does look like either canker or wet fowl pox inside the beak. Canker is said to have a bad odor. Coryza also has a bad odor. It is hard to get medications without a vet nowadays. And before treating, it would be best to have a vet diagnose the yellow material. Metronidazole has been the...

I doubt that pox is an issue right now because you probably don’t have mosquitoes out in abundance. If it still cool in the early mornings in Ohio, and you probably have the same weather. We hardly ever see fowl pox this far north. It is more a problem in warm weather states, such as FL, AL, LA...

What is your general location? Do you notice a bad odor from the beak now? Canker is a protozoan infection from pigeons and wild birds. Wet fowl pox is completely different, a virus from mosquitoes. Your location would help in a diagnosis. There is no treatment for wet fowl pox, but for canker...

Antibiotics can cause fungal or yeast infections. Those can appear as white patches. But a vet would be the best to determine what. Antibiotics are not needed for fungal infection but antifungals such as Monistat or Medistatin/ Flagyl can help.AVet would do testing ting.

It is hard to get many of the antibiotics lately due to government restrictions. I would keep a watch on the gray material increasing. How does the beak smell?

I would just put out the wet mash made fresh and see if she eats when hungry. A few bits of egg or tuna might get her started. The saline can be dropped or use with a dropper. I find Bausch and Lomb Eye Relief Eye Wash for about $4-5, and it can be used out of the bottle to flush an eye. Many...

She is getting up there. Have you added any new chickens or other poultry before she had symptoms of MG (mycoplasma?) The wild birds could have infected her. I would try to see if she has any pus that may be squeezed from around her eyelids. Has she been scratching at her eyes? The Terramycin is...
