    Hi, I'll check on the breath. Would wet pox smell too? If it is canker, I've already given her 5 doses of metronidazole as of today. Then what would I do or could I do? Kay

    Hi Dawg, What did you think of those pics. The first one on top was from today, the second down from 3 days ago and the third from today. She has been on 250mg Metronidazole a day for 5 days for possible canker but it doesn't seem that it helped. She's not weezing or anything like that.

    NEED HELP NOW GROWTH IN HEN'S MOUTH?

    Hi Dawg, I'm just east of Ocala. I guess the first thing to do is to smell her breath in the morning. I looked the best I could and didn't see anything in the beginning of her throat. She doesn't have any problem when I put feeding tube down it. In tweezing this off, if it isn't wet pox...

    hi Dawg.
