Please help. I have 2 one month old chicks that have been completely isolated since the day the mother hen hatched them. 2 days ago, I noticed what I thought was food stuck in the inside tip of its beak. When I tried to remove it, I realized it was fleshy and attached. It is much worse today...
Hi guys so I rescued a pigeon from garden he’s bad in shape having Plaques all over his eyelids and when I open his beak there’s plaques there too , at first I thought it’s pox but when I give him Metronidazole tablet he probably improved with one dose now it’s been 3 days his mouth is all clean...
one of my hen has swelling at the base of her beak and she’s unable to fully open her beak. She pecks and is unable to get food in her beak. The inside of her mouth looks clean and I have still wiped inside looking for yellowish or other yuck in there. I’m hand feeding her, if i put food in the...
Hi All,
I have two chickens (a Roo and a Hen), who likely have Canker (mouth and esophogus lesions, Rooster has one eye closed for the past two days). The Rooster has ALWAYS sneezed on the reg since we got him last spring, and yesterday I noticed his right mouth corner had some build up...
Hi guys
just wondering if anyone has dealt (by this I mean you have a certain diagnosis) with this parasite in ducks before? Most of what I google about it is relating to pigeons and other non waterfowl avian species, rather than ducks. I have had it confirmed in two ducks and lost 3 others...
Hello! I haven’t made any posts in here yet so i’m not sure how this works, but i’ll try to keep it succinct:
Our chicken, Gerta, has canker. I’ve checked it next to other diseases and the symptoms match closely with this one, though her case isn’t as severe as some.
She’s an otherwise...
I usually check my girls really good at least 2x a week... if not daily for anything odd. I noticied today one of my sweet polish hens had weird sores on her legs and the bottom of her feet had scabs the right foot was/is worse. I washed and soaked her legs in Epson salt, dawn antibacterial soap...
Hello,
I have a chicken with recurring canker, we’ve had some success with metronidazole and carnidazole (Spartrix tablets) but they are losing their impact and I want to try the acidified copper sulphate solution instead. Except this stuff really scares me because I read if you get the...
I found a seagull in Culver City, California, along La Ballona Creek this morning.
I think that the bird might have trichomoniasis (canker).
Can anyone determine from the pictures whether it is canker?
We have a small Brahma hen who developed very big canker lesions in her beak. I realised it only as she became quite lethargic, couldn't eat well and often opened and closed her beak. Took her to the vet 8 days ago, he confirmed diagnosis, removed the smelly cheesy bits from the beak, and gave...
This year has not been a good one for avoiding animal issues for us! I'm back again with another problem- this time, a hen with a crop issue.
On Friday evening (July 23) we noticed a hen with a large crop. I picked her up and felt her and could tell there were pieces of corn in her, so I was...
We have a hen with canker that isn't getting better, using copper sulfate and treated flock with 7 days of mix just to be sure. She didn't respond and is spreading in her mouth.
We do process our roosters, I don't see anything online to say if it's ok to process and eat chickens that have...
Hi -
I noticed two lesions in the mouth of my one year old buff Orpington hen 12 days ago. I took her to the vet as soon as I could, two days after noticing the lesions. The vet is not a chicken specialist but he does see chicken patients fairly often. I told him my concerns of canker and pox...
Hello, 3 week old turkey poult has been sick for the past week or so, finally narrowed it down to canker after discovering yellow lesions under his tongue and his swollen chin. He has been living with other turkeys this whole time so we’re going to treat them all. We wanted to go down the copper...
My roo, 6, white leghorn is a healthy house chicken. I love him more than words can express.
8 days ago, I rescued a squab (baby pigeon) fallen off the nest and diagnosed him with pigeon pox shortly. He was tube fed thrice and he had been improving before he developed a secondary infection...
So I've been told that my 6 year old girl, Dorothy, has Canker. She's had gaspy/rattly breathing for over a year now, it started gradually but seems to get worse at times.
I've seen that she has got some solid white/yellow plaque on the roof of her mouth/throat, and she's usually always...
Hello,
Please help. My BO hen, Rapunzel (age 4.5 years) has had these lesions in her mouth for about a year now. I took her to the vet in January and had a swab/culture ran on a sample of it, but the results came back inconclusive. The vet gave me a run of fluconazole, since I suspected it was...
I am posting again here because I got no responses the first time and I really need advice please.
I discovered one of my chicks with her beak weird and lost it when i saw this growth that is across most of the roof of her mouth. i looked back on photos and have been able to calculate that...
When I was closing up the coop this evening, I noticed that one of my hens (a 13 month old ISA Brown) was repeatedly yawning, shaking her head, and itching her head--pretty dramatically. She kept at it for a while. I just went back out to see if it has subsided but she was still intermittently...
I noticed one of our hens not eating and lethargic after going through a broody spell. I kept an eye on her and noticed that she would come running when I gave the other girls a treat, but she would just look at the food and would pick at the food but not pick it up. A chicken farmer in my...
