I'm sorry, I never saw this. Honestly, I did nothing. She still has some facial swelling but is otherwise fine! http://www.pbase.com/jonalisa/image/165315118 That said, I have a new chicken who was getting pecked a lot and I now see she has the same lump near her eye.

Hello all, here is my update on Jezebel: All photos are here: http://www.pbase.com/jonalisa Jezebel has made almost a full recovery. There is some swelling around the eye sockets causing a small amount of depth perception issues, but overall she is back to normal! I tried many things including...

March update! Jezebel just started laying. This is her 2nd week. She has become a new chicken: full of vim and vigor! Her innocent curiosity and eagerness are back - just like she was before the facial swelling. She is bolder, vocal and more self-assured; dodging some higher order hens but...

Really, how long and how often?

Thanks for checking in. I actually did try benadryl with no results. As far as coryza, there is no sinus involvement, no discharge. No symptoms other than the swelling. I have someone who may be able to do a biopsy. Stay tuned.

OMG, the poor baby! Did they ind it was definitely Marek's related?

Updated pictures of Jezebel from today. Note that she seems to be losing feathers (or gaining skin) at the top of her head, just above her comb.

estamets, Oh no! I am SO sorry!

I will get a photo tomorrow for sure - it's been a crazy holiday. I think the swelling is increased quite a bit. I will also check my supply of prednisone and make sure I have enough for all the doses planned out. Doodle, if you are following this, who is your vet in Portsmouth?

Any idea on the dose and the method? I only have pill form for my dogs.

Just a quick update on my hen Jezebel. Her swelling seems to be a bit worse, but that is the only change thus far. (Will try to get a photo this week). I read that prednisone can be used for some lymphomas in humans. It made me wonder if chickens can have prednisone? I assume that their livers...

I sent photos and details to a professor at UConn. His response: This could be a Soft tissue tumor such as Fibromas, Fibrosarcomas, myxomas, or myxosarcoma. Sometimes this is induced by avian leucosis virus, one thing you did not test for. This is a long shot. It might just have been a...

That actually means a lot to me. I pray for her every night. Thanks so much And many thanks to Eggcessive and Casportpony for their help, advice and support. I'd be lost without them.

Today's photos First one is a back to front view to show the depth of the swelling and the last one is of her "good side" for reference. (IMPORTANT NOTE: I just noticed that when i upload photos on BYC, the color ends up being washed out. Her comb/wattles look pale here, but they don't on my...

Wow, sorry to hear about all your issues! That lump looks exactly like how my Jezebel's started. Same size and location! I tried Tylan50 injected for 3 days, no results. I tried the oxytetracycline in their water, no luck. Trying sulfa meds for the second time- 2x a day. Also I am separating her...

The vets at the 2 universities were very nice, but the last correspondence made it clear that at this point they would need to do a physical exam. Here is a link to the past photos. Tomorrow I will add more current ones. http://www.pbase.com/jonalisa/jezebel I think the favus is similar in a...

We're back up! So nice to have wifi (heat and water are nice too!) "Does the other side of her face look like the right side? The coloring looks kind of putty-colored and spongy." No, the other side of her face is completely normal. Yes, you are right, it is putty-colored and spongy. I...

I think they are warm enough - they aren't really puffed up and they still elect to go outside in the run. Yesterday I put vaseline on all their combs and wattles. Today they look like zombie chickens, as their heads are blackened from dustbathing. As for Jezebel, I noticed today that she will...

I will check the swelling today. We've had no power since the night before thanksgiving. Temp is supposed to reach 12 degrees tonight so I am going out to apply bag balm or Vaseline to combs/wattles. I won't do the baytril unless warranted but I worry about her being at the bottom of the...

My 7 mo.old Buckeye, Jezebel, has had swelling on one side of her face since at least the beginning of Sept. A vet saw no sinus involvement, but had no clue otherwise. The State vet tested my chickens for MG and all were negative. I tried 3 days of Tylan50 with no results. I recently wormed and...
