The vet thinks it's cancer, not canker. They offered to do more tests but wanted $1000. Which is absolutely insane to me. I will definitely look into it, because I'm curious myself. I feel like if it is canker, her coop mates would be showing signs by this point since it's contagious through...
So, bit of an update, albeit not one I'd like to be making. We took her to the vet the same day I posted this thread. They weren't sure what the issue was but gave us an antifungal med and some meloxicam for pain. Also removed the stuff in her mouth and sent her home bleeding. Definitely not...
It's not nearly touchy enough unfortunately. I've been meaning to go buy a better one for awhile now, I just haven't gotten around to it. I'm going to pick one up in an hour or two.
OK thank you, I can see if the packaging tells me anything more. I did come across those sites, I wasn't sure if that was my only option or not. I was hoping to get it sooner without having to pay $50 dollars in shipping lol. But it is what it is. I appreciate the help and maybe she will be able...
I don't know if it's luck or just my obsessive Googling and using this site, but I'm almost always able to diagnose my animals. Almost always able to figure out the treatment. I start struggling when it comes to actually getting ahold of some of the meds and then figuring out the dosages. Having...
Hi again,
Yet another new chicken ailment I am coming across. I have a hen who is showing signs of canker. Horrible smell, yellowish gunk in left corner of mouth, hungry but struggling to eat, still drinks but starting to have an issue. It's been about 4 days now. I can't get into a vet...
Thank you so much. She seems fine now. I gave her corid and let her bathe in Epsom salt twice a day for like 3 days. One day I let her out by her family because she just wanted out so bad and she seemed a little better, didn't want back in so I decided to give her the night out there and she...
Hey all,
TLDR; Female duck hungry but struggles to eat, diarrhea, won't lie down, has bulge in abdomen, trying corid somewhat helped but still struggling, also ate a mouse at some point so possible blockage?
I'm currently dealing with my oldest female duck being sick for the first time. I...
That's a really good idea, thank you! I swear, one of my roosters knows when I'm trying to give him meds and won't eat anything I try giving him. It could be his favorite snack and he still won't touch it. Smart little monster he is.
I'm curious about this because I also struggle with some of my chickens. Some I have no problem administering meds but others will fight me to the death it seems like, so if it would actually work in water, I'd love to know this as well.
