My D'uccle bantam pullet has been suffering from fowl pox.
I have been using bag balm here and there, it's antiseptic and seems to help the scabs disappear. I tried Vet Rx and didn't see as much of a difference. (The Vet Rx did help another hen who was making the "meow" sound with her breaths. Just 2 applications, all cleared up.)
She is eating and drinking, just slower and very obviously miserable. Her eye became swollen and closed yesterday. No discharge.
I had just started using turmeric for myself and kids for anti inflammatory, pain killing, detox qualities. I read about giving it to chickens, I think there is a dosage on BYC somewhere for other ailments.
I went ahead and gave her about 1/3 cup wet feed, with about 3/4 teaspoon of turmeric and a bit of vegetable oil (oil is important in humans because the active ingredient binds to oil)... She had some...and so did the rest of the flock...
After about an hour she seemed much perkier. We will see...
Tonight I found this fabulous study on treatments for Avian Pox, Fowl and Pigeon....turmeric, lemon juice, lemon bark and potassium permangant... "All found highly effective against...may be used successfully as post exposure therapy..." See results from the study below:
"For the evaluation of anti-viral activities of the bio-chemical agents, boiled turmeric 25% w/v (filter and nonfilter) suspension and lemon bark of 25% w/v raw and boiled (filter and non-filter) were found highly effective against pox viruses. Lemon juice (5% v/v and 25%v/v) filtered and potassium permanganet of either concentration (0.1% and 0.5% w/v) of both filter and non-filter were found highly effective against the recent isolates of avipox viruses. Results of anti-viral activity of the bio-chemical agents used in this study indicated that these agents may be used successfully as post exposure therapy against fowl pox and pigeon pox infection in the commercial and backyard poultry in Bangladesh."
