canker

A couple days ago, I noticed that my 5 y/o GLW Drucie had an empty crop--which is unusual for her, because she's pretty voracious. When I put some crumbles on the ground for her (which she loves) she would go for them like she's busily eating them up, but each one drops out. I also noticed while...

Any thoughts on if this is canker or thrush? She has been eating and drinking normally. A few days ago she was very sleepy and has been puffed up frequently but other than that she’s been acting normal. I noticed these spots at the corner of her beak the day she was sleepy (and therefore...

Hello fellow chicken people! I have a hen (3 year old Barred Rock) with what I'm 90% sure is canker. Here's what I know so far: 1.) She has some nasty, cheese-like gunk in her mouth I at first thought was wet pox. 2.) Her breath smells bad (almost like old tuna...? Hard to describe, but it is...

I noticed my 2 year old hen breathing pretty deeply and as I took a closer look it seems her nostrils are like sunken in and almost closed up. Got her inside last night to inspect and there was some gunk on the nostrils I tried to clean off but still doesn't help as seems the nostrils are sunken...

My 5 y/o RIR hen, Willow, has developed crusty nares over the last few weeks. I thought it was just compacted feed and dirt, and started trying to remove it, but it seems almost to be tissue-like, and today, I've noticed a foul smell developing from the area. I also noticed that she's not as...

Hi there! I need help, I’ve been reading a lot of posts about chicken canker and I have few questions. Almost a week ago I took my chicken to the vet, she’s on metrodinazole 200mg/ml. I thought Lord Byron was getting better but today I realized her mouth was full of canker plaques (see pic)...

I first noticed about 2 weeks ago my hen had like saliva hanging from her beak. I thought it was strange but after the 3rd day I started to worry so I was just inspecting her and happened to see inside her mouth and saw a yellow lump. At first I just thought it was food but the following day it...

I have a 3 y.o. Rooster who had a yellowish patch at the back of his throat a month ago. It started out small and I was only able to notice it when one day he didn't crow. I took him to a Vet and he gave him metronidazole 100mg twice a day, some electrolytes, and cotrim. I gave him the...

Waiting for a response from the avian vet / rehabbers. A lot of places around me have a 1 month + wait; doesn't help that im from an area where it's uncommon to have pet birds and wild life rescues. My dad brought him to me after seeing his parent get attacked by a cat at the park. I've been...

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...
