I took King Henry to the exotic vet today as there was no improvement at all after the 7 day treatment of Tylan. The lesions have returned in his mouth but only a tiny amount can be seen and his face and eyes are still swollen. The vet didn’t look over him as thoroughly as the first vet but...

Thank you @aart. It’s going to be a long 7 days for King Henry being penned up but I’ve got to be cruel to be kind. I’ve tried to make the enclosure interesting so when he comes out of his house tomorrow morning, he will find himself in my veg patch. Hopefully he’ll have fun eating my kale...

@aart Wow! That’s a lot. I feel way better about spending that much now. I wonder if he has to go to the exotic vet if it will cost more.

He was great at the vet, so calm and let her do all her stuff with him. His temp was fine but she noted the white in his mouth and the swelling under his eyes. His eyes had bubbles so she was able to see that symptom. She agreed with you that it looks like mycoplasma and to try with Tylan...

Thank you @aart and @Wyorp Rock for taking the time to look at my photos. I agree, it’s time for the vet as I’m at a loss at what to do now. I’ve finally persuaded my farmer husband (he thinks I’m crazy) to let me take him to the vet so I’ve got an appointment at 3pm today. I’ll update you...

Sorry for the poor inside photos. I’m doing it one handed. You can see the bit of white just by my finger.

Thank you @Wyorp Rock Unfortunately after the 6 day treatment of tylosin, he is no better. He did his love dance to one of his wives this morning and he is eating as normal so he is feeling ok in himself. It’s just that his eyes still look bad and it looks like there is a bit of white in his...

Thank you @Eggcessive and @aart for taking the time to look at King Henry’s photos. I have some Tylosin now so will start with that. Do you think the white spot is related to the canker? Is this new infection related to the canker too? He’s a fighter so I hope he can get over this new episode...

The above photo was taken today when he was eating some clover. He would eat some and then take a break. Thought you might also like to see his whole profile as he still looks ok but his face does look swollen.

Thank you so much for getting back to me quickly. To answer your questions: His weight is the same No chickens added to the flock since 2 years ago. There are 17 chickens and he is the only male. None of the others look affected. I do think his sinuses are swollen as well. I never noticed...

I took photos last week and today and there is no change so at least he isn’t getting worse.

@Wyorp Rock and @casportpony I just wanted to update you both on King Henry and ask for advice again..... I gave him the 5 day course of metronidazole and baytril back in May and his symptoms cleared up immediately. He was back to normal and very happy. But I am now concerned again and I’m...

Thank you @casportpony. @Wyorp Rock said the same thing about it being lifelong with him unfortunately. I hope the meds and the cause of his stress being no longer around will help him on his way to recovery. I’m so glad I checked him when I did. He’s the same weight so I will do the same...

@Wyorp Rock I have ordered the metronidazole and baytril just in case I need to use both. They have been dispatched today so hopefully they won’t take long to get here. No change in King Henry’s condition at the moment.

Thank you so much @Wyorp Rock for your reply and advice. He’s an old bird and has been stressed recently by his son wanting to take over his crown so that won’t have helped matters. His son was dispatched yesterday as he wouldn’t leave King Henry alone even though they were separated by a fence...

@casportpony and @Wyorp Rock I’m sorry to bother you both but please could I have your help again! This morning I did a random check of King Henry’s mouth and the lesions are back I removed them with a q tip but something is not right. I treated him for canker and a bacterial infection last...
