I found a protruding lesion on the left side of Bobbie's upper beak, yesterday.
It looks as though she'd been scratching or it may have even bumped it to cause it to try to (bleed / ooze - pus ?)
The outside of the lesion appears dry & crusty but the center of it looks like it may erupt. (not so - it's firm)
I dabbed Peroxide on it to keep ooze out of her beak.
She does have 2 small flat lesions in the wattles. One black and one brown
She is in a pen by herself but only separated by chicken wire.
(The problem I think came from the wild doves & pigeons who come to feed since the top of her pen is open ?)
What do I do ? How do I treat this ? Info. Please !!!
I will be adding photo/s later
