Thanks a lot, I am so hesitant to try it although I've read about it, afraid I will poison them with it. How do you measure out such a small amount? Thank you...

Yeah, me too because this issue is ongoing. Not in large numbers but e.g. at the moment I have 3 birds with is who all live in different areas.

Anyone please?

Dear all, I am getting a bit desperate so wanted to ask - although I am based in Europe and there are labs here, maybe you can recommend a vet, or a university or a lab based in the USA or Canada that I could send samples to? Some of my birds keep getting really weird mouth lesions that just...

Thanks a lot, unfortunately this afternoon the chickie passed away, I took a pic after I opened him/her up and I think it might be that infection described on the link. It was under the vent area, like a sack filled with this stuff. It wasn't smelling good either (e.g. hennies with salpingitis...

Dear all, We recently hatched Brahma chicks for a friend under our broody. 2 of them died within 1-2 days and both had something under their vents - not on the vents but a bit lower, sort of like a large dried up scab. I think they had it since hatching, not sure. Today I noticed another...

Thanks very much, it is good to have for future reference, unfortunately the owner contacted me that the hennie passed away last night - it must have been something serious, she is going to attempt to see what it was, with her permission I will post it to share what was the problem. Thanks a LOT...

Thanks so much, the owner is reading the info, many thanks for your reply!

Indeed, I learned a LOT from this forum and I often run the suggestions by our vet (we are lucky I guess to have an avian/exotic vet and he is awesome). I am thankful for this place so now I can also begin to share my own experiences and what helped/didn't help. I hope your girl feels better...

In the cases of prolapse with our hennies we have found it best to apply a hemorrhoid cream, such as PrepH or something else available in pharmacies - it reduces the swelling apparently and the body just "sucks it in" again. even in cases where it had been out for a while and the tissue started...

Dear all, Posting on behalf of a friend - avian vet is not available so your replies would be much appreciated - Thuringian Bearded hen, born May 2014, weighs a little more than a pound (500 grams = half a kilo), has this thing coming out of her back side. She is also acting very depressed...

Thank you, I will ask my vet what are the products with this active ingredient in our country (these we don't have for sure, but there might be another brand or something)....

Sorry, just now saw your reply - yes, we do have pigeons and unfortunately there is nothing we can do about them because the place is open and impossible, at least at this time, to cover with a net or anything like that. I'm still battling - apart from permanganate and iodine, is there anything...

Sorry for not responding sooner. Our boy who I was desperately fighting for has passed away. We did open him up and it seems that he only had this hard puss in the mouth behind the tongue, not anywhere else (not in the crop, not in the gizzard). But his digestion just had stopped and he was...

Wow, thanks so much Dawg53 (sorry I forgot your name, I know you've helped me already in the past and big thanks for that!) Our vet did mention wet pox, but I think once I have seen it in one of our birds and with Ganadexil (Enrofloxacin, same as Baytril?) and swabbing with iodine and removing...
