I was trying to apply gentian violet on my hen's neck with a cotton swab but she pecked at the swab with a bit of gentian violet on it. I don't think she ingested much, the tip of her beak is blue and I think I saw that her tongue was a bit blue too. Could this be dangerous?? what should I do??
 
We used to use it inside babies' mouths many years ago to treat for thrush or candida infection, a fungal infection. It's not used now since antifungals such as Nystatin have been in use. So I wouldn't worry.
