    Canker parasite/Trichomoniasis in ducks

    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 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...

    Seagull with Yellow, Cheesy Lesions in Mouth

    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?

    Canker continues - Flagyl not working

    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...

    can a chicken have sour crop and canker at the same time?

    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...
