I never saw any pus, but I figured since it looked like abscess i try to see if I can drain it. She is behavig better today, aside from little detail that i forgot not to give her shot in leg muscle so she was limping this morning. I can't decide if I should continue tetracycline, but dont want...

Right side of her face is still swollen looks more red and almost like abscess. I cleaned skin with alcohol and stuck needle through it but there was no puss. She is on day 2 of tetracycline and second round of flagyl. Anyone else had experience with abscesses?
She is not doing that well today, I found more of the yellow/gray stuff inside her beak and took it out. Then squirted more Flagyl in her mouth and then gave her a shot. She probably would hatw me by now if birds could hate.
Is it tetracycline or oxytetracycline? What is the concentration? If you chicken has a virus there is no medication for it but if it's bacteria tetracycline will do. You have to give right dose. Not sure what kind you got. Is it liquid? What concentration? I had chicken with cough and wheezing...
She is doing better, but swelling on her face is still there. She is not back to normal, I am going to start flagyl again, and I think I will do tetracycline as well, because now I am worrying about bacterial infection such as staph or strep. I am not sure if other hens are infected, but since...
Chicken's face is still swollen but it's not worse. Today is day 5 of mentronidazole which should be last day. I don't know how long to wait before starting another antibiotic to cover staph or strep. I bought a microscope to look for those trichomonas but didnt find any which i supose it's a...
Thanks for advise. I will hold off on the oxytetra then. How long would you keep her on metronidazole? What is blackhead? Is copper sulfate toxic to cats? My cat hangs out with chickens and drinks their water
Eyes are not swallen. As for canker in chickens, it is caused by trichomonas which is a protozoan that is only contagious by direct contact with saliva. It dies fast outside of wet environment. So i am just cleaning water everyday and keeping everything dry to prevent spreading disease
I noticed my chicken having trouble swallowing, few days later she stopped eating and looked like she was about to die. When I looked inside her beak there was a growth in her beak that took up right lower half. From descriptions and pictures it looked like canker so I took it out. It smelled...
Well she did well when we were around with her, then when we are gone apparently it is different story. She broke through the fence. Now that she tasted the first one and I am sure it tasted good not sure if we can stop the behavior. I am so mad! And I know it's not her fault.
Our new chicken is part of the coup now and everyone is getting along. The bad news is that my dog ate one of the other chickens. She was the most friendly, and my favorite one. It was a sad day I don't really blame the dog as it's an instinct. Chicken got out, and it was my fault, although I...
