I have a bird that I am pretty confident has canker.

•Difficulty breathing (open mouth gasping)
•foul odor
•white/yellow cheese-like substance in mouth/throat area

We have purchased Metronidazole in tablets for pigeons from Jedds.
We have purchased acidified copper sulfate.

She is separated from the flock

We are on day three of the metronidazole treatment. It’s Going well.
We just started the copper sulfate treatment for her and the rest of the flock today.

I’m wondering if anyone has any experience with tea tree oil. We use it in our home a lot when illness comes around because of its antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral properties. We typically put 5-6 drops in a bowl with boiling water, place a towel over our heads and breathe in the steam….

Since canker is fungal… could this be helpful for our chicken? My daughter will sit with the bird under a towel so the bird can breathe in the steam.

Any thoughts? Thanks in advance
 
I’m just realizing that it’s not fungal. This is a flagellate Protozoa…. I’m still curious if a tea tree steam would be safe for her and if it would maybe have a beneficial effect👍🏻🙏
