I have started with the antibiotics and the bumps have not gotten worse, but
Dev is worse. Swallowing is hard that she is occasionally drooling.
I have been giving her trimethoprim sulfa for 3 days now, the vet prescribed 14 days. Should I stop? Would I have seen signs of improvement by now...
Hi everyone,
I gave Dev the copper in her water for 4 days. I really saw no improvement. She perked up in the first two days but that was it. No change in her mouth bump. Her swallowing did not improve.
Yesterday she went downhill fairly quickly. She could not even eat more than half of her...

I’m planning on a vet trip on Wednesday so I am looking for advise on what to have them look at/test for, if anyone has any input.

I don’t smell a foul odor. The smell was her baby bird food powder. And whenever she eats that she gets air in her crop so I have to massage it until the air comes out and she ‘burps’. When she burps it smells like the baby bird food but fermented a bit but it is sitting in her crop for a bit...
Yes, these are old photos but show them well, I will try to get new ones but may have to wait until tomorrow morning to use the sunlight.
The last two were from just now, she pooped as well.
It’s hard to see but the area with the arrow in the second to last picture is protruding due to her...
Hi there,
I have an 8 year old hen who has been having some issues lately. Starting March of 2022, she developed ascites. A little later I noticed a tumor on the left side of her abdomen, it is hard to feel but I would say it is a smidge bigger than a golf ball.
All is fine until Eddie, my 10...
