    Hi @New duck mommy 2021, Thanks for the detailed update. The chicken is still laying an egg every other day, which is more than what can be said for the other seven hens right now. What is the dosing & how long is the course for the antibiotic? If you could please post as soon as you know if...

    An update.... Here's her bum tonight before cleaning. Started the Miconazole Saturday night at 2x day. @New duck mommy 2021 - is this similar looking to your duck?

    Hi, I can't give any advice as I am so new to all of this. But I have been dealing with this for quite some time with the neighbors chicken, as you can read in this thread above. I think the acidified copper sulfate helped some to lessen her discharge, but she needed something else orally to...

    For how many days? Until the discharge stops?

    Hi Wyorp Rock, I went and got some Miconazole, both the suppositories and the cream. Can I ask for some clear instructions on getting the suppository pieces into the the chicken? Do I need to place them down the right side of her mouth to insure it gets into the crop, or simply get it into her...

    I came across this article: https://bitchinchickens.com/2019/09/05/vent-gleet/ It has a few things to try, one that was mentioned here about giving Micronazole orally. Use an over-the-counter antifungal like Micronazole or Clotrimazole (sold under brand names like Monistat or Canesten): apply...

    Hi Y'All... another update... Acidified copper sulfate (ACS) has been in the water for over a week now. I did not soak/treat her for a few days as she was still discharging so I thought I'd let the (ACS) do it's thing and then soak her & treat her externally with the Nystatin again - which I...

    Wanted to update y'all... We had the cold snap coming and since the chicken was staying over night in the 'spa', I thought it best to stop the external treatment until I could get something to treat her internally as well and that would give her time to re-acclimate to being out all night in...

    Hi Wyorp Rock, I don't have any crushed granite, but I do have free choice oyster shells. It smells yeasty, not a urine smell. She did lay recently. I found one egg that had blood on the shell a few days before I discovered her icky bum. Then after seeing her bum, I found her in the nesting...

    Hi Razzlefrazzle, What kind of oral anti-fungal would you suggest that doesn't need a prescription? She is still discharging quite a bit and I feel that the topical nystatin is only capable of keeping the status quo right now. I've posted recent pics here. Thanks

    OK, I've just finished a second round of coconut oil and got some more gunk off. I did a second water & epsom salt soak and am letting her rest bit. I'll then blow dry her and apply more nystatin. She does still have a discharge as seen in these most recent pics. Is that puffed lip of skin a...
