Hey y’all! I just recently purchased my first Cayuga ducks from someone who is downsizing their flock for winter, I bought 2 hens and a drake they are about 2 years old. When I purchased them, the person said that one of the hens had a bit of a limp, and she still has the limp right now, I went...
This chick was scalped 2 nights ago. The first night I used peroxide, saline and white cream Neosporin. The next morning I tried taking off the Neosporin but some of it wouldn't come off. I used saline and then iodine to rinse it after getting off as much cream as I could. Then applied clear...
I have nine bourbon red poults that are about two weeks old. One is not doing well this evening. His belly area seems swollen, there is a scab in that area. He is just standing with his eyes closed and wings drooped, letting the other poults run over him. Could it have an infection? Or be...
We have a suspected cockerel that we assume is 12 weeks old and breed is unknown. Two days ago right before closing the coop, I noticed that its wing was drooping and slightly larger and upon inspecting it, I see that it's wing is swollen and there's a patch of skin with fluid. I let my mom know...
Hello guys I had an accident last week due to one of my cockatiels being on top of my canaries cage the other day manage to reach to grab one of them and did some damage. I haven’t made an appointment to the vet because I thought at the time when it happen it was some blood and was going to heal...
hello I have a hen whose eye seems gunked shut. Came out of nowhere but i'm concerned it might be a respiratory thing as my rooster's nose keeps getting clogged up with black stuff, could this be related ??? I noticed a couple days ago her eye looked slightly irritated, almost a bit swollen, but...

Hey all, my duck’s bill seems to be looking rather interesting. I looked at it up close and have wiped it with warm water and dawn to remove any debris. She has water deep enough to clean her nostrils, food and water given daily. I did remove piece of debris last night that was hard and sort of...
Yesterday I noticed one of our babies has a swollen lump between her eye and ear, it’s making the area look all distorted and bare. Could anyone take a look at these pictures and give your opinion? No discharge from the eye, no other symptoms, eating and drinking normally! This first time...
My pet duck, Beepers, picked a fight with a rooster today. He got pecked pretty hard. It seems kinda deep. He can eat and drink normally, and is acting normal. I just don’t want it to get infected, and I’m not sure what to do. It can probably heal by itself, but I need to protect it from infection.
Hey y’all! I need some help/advance here. I just started working at an equestrian barn and they have a 5 year old horses and he has Club foot and got a joint infection from the vet (they didn’t do the injection right). Can this be treated? If so what is the best way to? And after he recovers...
So Saturday May 8th I bought 4 chicks from a local farm that seemed to have their s*** together. On Sunday May 9th, one of them took sick. The farmer insisted that it was "sour crop" while giving me instructions for clearing an *impacted* crop and she told me it was because of the feed I fed...
One of my girls got a minor cut on her foot in the end of February, it became slightly inflamed but no black. I treated it with polysporin, preparation H and a neoprene duck shoe changed before bed every night for 3 weeks. Pretty much all of the swelling went down and and the scab was super tiny...
My 1 year old Wyandot has a very bulbous, swollen toe. The scales have fallen off and the skin is pink, and fairly firm. Soaking and cleaning revealed no black scab, so bumblefoot is out. There was a small lesion near the nail, although I don’t know if that came after the injury or before...
Hi!
These last 2 weeks, my hen has been losing feathers and itching all over, specifically her neck, and has been eating/drinking less and less. At first, I thought she was going through a slow molt with all the itching and feathers she was losing, but many are the fluffy down feathers. She's...

My quail seems to have swollen back claws (toes on the back of their feet) I’m not sure if the nails have come off or that the skin has swollen around them but they are not visible and the claw seems to be rather swollen compared to my other quails, what could this be and how would I fix it? I...
I have a Turkey (female) and I think she was attacked by a rat. She has a nice size wound on her side underneath her wing and it is infected. I need a antibiotic to give her to combat it. I have been cleaning it twice a day and applying antibiotic cream to it and it was healing quite nicely...
One of our favorite hens went missing for a few days and just wandered back up with a pretty severe injury under wing that already smells pretty rotten. We sprayed the wound down good with vetericyn but I’m wondering if there’s an oral antibiotic at feed stores that may be helpful?
