Where should I be looking for the dry pox scabs? Do you mean on her face and comb like what Ebby had or do you mean in her mouth? Now the picture I posted is the original picture I took the day we went to the vet. It is not a new picture. I think the lesion looks smaller but it could be wishful...

Well I'm giving Daisy the Baytril and the Metronidazole as was suggested in this thread. She's still eating and a little more everyday so it seems. She still has the lesion in her mouth but I could swear it looks a tiny bit smaller?? Oh I am also using Colloidal Silver by spraying it in her...

OK SO I'M SO EXCITED YOU HAVE TO FORGIVE ME FOR SHOUTING!! LOL DAISY IS EATING LIKE A LITTLE PIG NOW ALL OF A SUDDEN!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!! I made them both the usual type of afternoon treats.... Mixed veggies. However I put a little tuna in the veggies, mainly for Ebby, my Black Australorp who...

I can't say that she's doing better or worse with the Bactrim to be honest. But in any event YES, I will continue giving it to her until the 2 new meds arrive. She's fairly normal in that she's still active. She still goes out to the yard to play, comes running when I go out to give them treats...

Oh my goodness thank you so much for telling me where I can get these meds!! I honestly thought there was just no hope at all!!! I will order them both right now however I have two questions please?? 1. What is the dose for each of these? Daisy has lost so much weight she's down to approx...

Hello to all I finally talked to the vet and asked him for Baytril and Metronidazole and he informed me that they are ILLEGAL to give to any potentially meat animal??? WTH??? He proceeded to tell me that the Bactrim is "just as good and will do anything the Baytril will do"!!! DUH UGH I'M SO...

I am definitely trying! She is one of our family! My 2 chickens are pets! We love them to pieces and raised them from week old chicks.

THANK YOU to all that have come forward with some advice. I have called the vet and asked for the Baytril and Metronidazole. However he's not there again until Monday!! I asked if any of the other vets could prescribe it but they would not of course. Daisy today, in my opinion is a bit worse. I...

Thanks for writing. Yes indeed my Black Australorp did have fowl pox a few months ago but was just the dry form on her comb etc. What's so odd about all this is that it all began with her left cheek swollen and her eye closed!! We applied Terramycin oint at the instruction of a mobile vet I...

Ok but do I give her both at the same time then?? Also a few months ago my other hen indeed had a case of dry foul pox. I don't know if it could take this long to then develop as the wet form in Daisy?? Is that possible?? I only have the 2 hens. Daisy acts as though she's starving but wouldn't...

Look what I just found and it says facial swelling can also occur!!

This is the link the other lady sent and it can begin with a mosquito bite!! If she was bitten by a mosquito it could have caused her cheek to swell to the point the eye was closed??!! Then this stuff can be caused by that same bite and to me it looks very similar to what she's got...

Thank you so very much!! I am trying to find anything that begins with these symptoms and turns into this beak/mouth issue! Cause you know it all started with her eye being closed one morning and her cheek swollen yet more like mushy and soft not hard or solid and we thought something bit her...

No he didn't run anything!! He just got me all upset and $130 later I still know nothing and I too don't feel it's cancer??!! The only good thing that came from seeing him is that he gave her pain medicine which definitely does help her to be able to at least eat some small amounts here and...

Here is Daisy eating a little mashed up watermelon yesterday after she's had the pain medicine. Then this is her taking a sand bath and acting like nothing is wrong? None of this makes any sense to me. Help??

Hello to all, I am posting pics of my chickens mouth. A vet told me yesterday that it's a cancerous lesion. I am heartbroken. However I've been told by a couple of chicken breeders that it is not cancer but instead some type of infection? I would appreciate any thoughts anyone might have on...

Awwwwwwwww thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I too use the oregano in their water!! I didn't know about the olive oil though. Well where would I get her tested for the MG? We don't have any chicken vets here.. well actually there are 2 and we've seen them each other other things and I said never again to both because it was clear they had...

Thanks for writing. Her eye is fully open already for days. This is the craziest thing I've ever ever seen though? Today she had no clear mucus in her mouth at all?? Yesterday her mouth was full of it?? However she still isn't eating at all?? I swear it's like she's forgotten how to eat?? I just...

Please can anyone help me? My 6yo Barred Rock Daisy is in trouble! She began about a couple weeks ago with her left eye totally closed and her left cheek swollen. We put some sodium chloride drops in her eye and we used Terramycin opth ointment as well on her cheek daily 2 to 3 times a day as...
