    Abscess in cheek of 4 year old hen. How to treat?

    Yes, the hen did have a very sour smell- this was what made me realise she was ill in the first place. I was advised this was sour crop and I treated it with potassium sulphate (available on amazon.co.uk) in the drinking water along with apple cider vinegar. It did seem to solve most of the...

    Is this canker?

    See my comment on my thread. If you are in the UK you can get metronidazole by using an online prescription service and stating you have bacterial vaginosis. I basically lied and they prescribed it for me. However it was £24 so might be cheaper just to go to the vet in the first place. I...

    Abscess in cheek of 4 year old hen. How to treat?

    My 4 year old Maran has developed a lump on the side of her face, just behind her beak. Her eye is slightly closed by the swelling.
