It appeared all of sudden. Maybe a few days ago, I didn’t really notice until today. After reading up on it and consulting with a friend who also experienced fowlpox I’m almost positive that’s what it’s it is. There was a lot of mosquito larva in buckets we’ve had a lot of rain.
My rooster’s face is covered in tumors. I’m not sure how to treat it. He is such a nice and lovely boy, he needs help, it is starting to impede his vision in one eye.
I have not stomach tubed a chicken in awhile. I hear some people say to put the tube on the left side to reach the crop, I obviously know not in the middle because of the trachea going to the lungs. But which left side? The chicken’s left side, or you looking straight on at the chicken left...
Yes, thank y
Yes, thank you. That is exactly the route I was going to take. If my horse vet can’t get me some penicillin g procaine soon, I was going to go to the feed store and buy fish mox and give it to her orally as a back up plan. Thanks!!
Yes, I just talked to my Horse vet she is trying to get me some penicillin. She wouldn’t be eating and drinking though if she was in shock. She definitely still could die from the infection though. Thank you.
And yes peritonitis or free-floating fluid in the abdomen would be very painful I just lost a dog to it, and I’ve had a horse that had it as well. But this doesn’t appear to be the case with my chicken.
It is on her back, not on her abdomen. It is a iodine wound spray Similar to betadine. She has not shown any sign of suffering as of yet. So as long as she’s bright, eating, drinking, and her wound is not obviously oozing or infected, I will continue to treat her .
