I just don’t know how she would have gotten this. I’ve never seen a pigeon or a dove on our property let alone drinking from the water at the same time. I just read an website blog that says it’s direct contact with the infected bird. They’d have to be drinking the water at the same time? Or any...
I washed the waterers out with soap and water and then let them air dry overnight before filling with copper sulfate and acv this morning. I don’t think I have anything on hand right now to sanitize. Just vinegar maybe but no bleach or disinfecting wipes.
See this is where I don’t know what to...
No scabs at all from what I can see. She definitely doesn’t. It does smell. I can order API general cure which I’ve read has metronidazole in it but it’ll take a week or more to get here and costs $60 by time it’s shipped. No pet stores carry it and when I called they told me I had to get it...
I wiped it yesterday and it bled a fair bit. Trying today in the front part and started bleeding a little so I stopped nervous of it gushing blood if I did the bigger area.

She was separated as soon as I noticed the growth inside. I just thought it was an injury at first so I left her out. But I guess it was contagious even before then? So it’s just maintenance from now? Stress or something will cause it to breakout in another chicken and just copper sulfate water...
What would be the timeline for this. Everything will take a week or more to get here. I have copper sulfate in the main water for the other birds right now cause that’s all I could find yesterday. Will my other birds forsure have this now? The hen that has it is acting fine still. The first day...
I can order API general cure from amazon which has metronidazole in it but it’ll take a week to get here. Just found that out through a previous post a couple years ago as I can’t get fish zole. A vet can prescribe it if I take her in.
Hi everyone! I’m a new member but have been reading through posts and articles from here that have been very helpful. I’m in canker crisis! Metronidazole I can only get at a vet (I’m in Canada) and I can’t bring her to a vet (my husband won’t go for that and to be honest we don’t have the money...
