infection

Hello, we got Rhode Island Red chickens for the first time and in the past couple weeks her feet have been getting bigger and bigger on both feet. At first I thought it was just genetic but as they got bigger and bigger I knew something was wrong and I learned that chickens get bumblefoot...

Hi all, Thanks in advance for the help! I have a 5 year old red bourbon Tom who recently has a pimple looking growth on his snood. He has gotten it once before but it went away on its own relatively quickly. This time it has not gone away. Anyone have any recommendations? It looks like an...

This is Tweety, she's a 3 month old pullet that's half Naked Neck and half Asian Black. She has these red areas on her face, somewhat symmetrical, but worse on the left side than the right. I don't know if the crooked neck is related or if my other pullet stepped on her neck while trying to get...

It’s so going on two weeks now my hand has had an issue with her eye. I started off by doing warm compresses and applying vet RX under her wings, head and mouth. Shortly after I started giving her terramycin ointment. so fast forward I decided to do a bit more investigating and found this white...

I wanted to make a separate thread for Miss BBs foot/leg injury. She holds up her leg close to her body and just hops around when she has to. She mostly just lays all day. When she tries to put it down her wing falls down almost like a crutch to break the fall. This has been going on for 3 weeks...

Hi! I need some help. My appleyard duck got a small cut on her foot a few weeks ago. I cleaned it, used hydrogen peroxide a few days in a row and kept an eye on it. It had seemed to fully heal well, but a few days later i looked and it had swollen again. There is no scab or opening to the...

Will Liquamycin, Duramycin or ventrimisole work instead of Tylosin? If so how much is the dosage. My hen has bubbles in her eyes and I am not sure Tylosin is accessible for me at my tractor supply Apologies for pic quality but you can kinda see in the corner there the bubbles

Hello again. Our gander is nearly 2 years old and has 2 almost 1 year old geese for girlfriends. One is smaller and he must favor her because she is missing a lot of feathers on her head. The other is a bit larger and he seems to have trouble finishing the deed with her just because of the size...

I have a under year old lavender ameraucana rooster whom i soaked in Epsom salt bath today to get him cleaned up to assess his rear. I wasn't sure if it was vent gleet or what was happening but a couple weeks back I noticed the super dirty rear. At the time or noticing it, i currently had a hen...

Hello! We have a 1 year old dark Brahma who was being pecked pretty badly by her flock mates. She has a pretty large bald patch on her back and around her vent. The area near her vent is pretty red, and while applying Vaseline and peck no more today I noticed a hard white lump (see the third...

Recently my coturnix quail developed a squinty, irritated eye. Now I found his ear covered in a scab-type material with his ear hole clogged. I cleaned the area with saline and applied a little bit of Triple Polysporin, but I didn't want to dig anything out of his ear just in case. My regular...

Hey guys, I posted about my roo a couple weeks ago because I noticed that he had lost quite a bit of weight and had his feathers picked out. I solved the feather picking problem but the weight issue is still present. I think I figured out what the problem is.. he got frostbite on his wattles...

She last ate mussels. We’ve been feeding her it regularly since we’re out of duck feed, but this has never happened before. I believe there isn’t any orange in mussels, so I’m not sure why she’s had an orange dropping or what it’s indicating. She’s also been shaking her head and generally...

We’ve been to the doctors, but they couldn’t find out what’s wrong with her even with the blood tests and all. We’ve tried putting her on antibiotics given by the doctors (Meloxicam) and it helped, but didn’t solve the problem. She’s had this problem for months and it’s getting worse. We’re...

Hi all, my pekin/Aylesbury developed a limp around 6 days ago and there is significant swelling to the middle of her toe and what I would presume is the ‘ankle joint’. On her outer toe she had a little mark which was a small piece of thorn I have removed and the swelling has gone down on that...

My blue laced red whyandotte started squinting her right eye for the past day and tonight when I put her up I noticed there was a lot of clear liquid with a few bubbles but not white/foamy nor did the eye itself look red or damaged and she was making different chatting sounds than usual when I...

Hi everyone! I wish I was coming with better news. My broad breasted white turkey, Evelyn, is not doing well at all. Earlier yesterday she was doing fine going after food. Last night she had one swollen eye. This morning both eyes nearly sealed shut and was really acting sick. Not eating or able...

The vet said she had an infection but haven’t yet specified which, so I’m conducting my own list of possibilities to support her while I wait for the email. My duck is one years old and she’s a female. Her main meals are duck feeds, Manna Pro Pellets. She usually has tomatoes and eggs as snacks...

Hi. I have recently bought 3 Muscovy ducklings about 10 days ago. (I also have 2 chickens and have had more of both in the past.) The situation: The ducklings are roughly 4, 6 & 8 weeks old. The oldest is also significantly larger, so I suspect it is a drake. The oldest has some sort of foot...

Our pet chicken was dragged from under the coop during the night on Sunday. We assumed she was dead. Our neighbor just came over and said she was hiding her bushes. She has a large gaping wound under her wing that smells bad. There’s a picture attached. is there anyway to save her?
