Gout, Bumblefoot or ?? Treatment? See photos

[TwoCrows]

Any Tart Cherry will be fine. About an 1/8 tsp a day. Hide it in food if you can. You could also put it in a quart waterer.

Oh and that Uricel is perfect to be using. That should really help!

Gout is not curable and these meds take a long time to change the birds constitution. This will be an ongoing thing for the rest of his days. He can eat poultry food but low protein food only.

Good luck and keep us posted!

Crops need to be checked first thing in the morning. They should be full during the day and at roosting time. Mornings only should they be empty. He may have a sour crop, but you need to check the crop tomorrow morning.

Is his butt feathers stained with white urates? Any blood is the poop? If this is the case you need to get him on Corid for a Coccidiosis infection. You can get Corid at most feed stores.

Does the butt feathers smell bad? Stained green? This could be Vent Gleet, a yeast infection in the intestines. Acidified Copper Sulfate will help with this. Some feed stores carry it or you can get it from Twin Cities Poultry.

Has he been wormed recently? If not he could have an overload of worms. In which case you might worm him with Safeguard.

He has no blood in stool. And he dose have runny green and white stool. And I think he dose have sour crop. R u a chicken expert???? His crop dont feel hard like it should be feels sqishy and soft he throws up. I just read massaging it helps and giving them some Epsom salt in cup of water helps to flush it out.

This poop looks like a cecal poop to me. They pass a few of these oily smelly poops a couple times a day, and are totally normal.

How was his crop this morning, full or emtpy? If full, was it soft and squishy, very hard or doughy as if it were bread dough you could knead?
