Recently one my 5 week old ameraucanas has developed a lump in its throat, and seems to always have what looks like reguritated food in and around its mouth. It seems somewhat distressed and every vet by me is closed today for the holiday. If anyone knows what this could be and if theres a way I...
Two of my ducks were attacked by a raccoon around two weeks ago. Personality wise, they seem great and extremely active. However I’m growing concerned for both of their feet but mainly my smaller Pekin, Fae. He is the most active but his foot is blackening, smells, and doesn’t seem to harbor...
Hello. I’ve had a hen with prolapse for about a week now. She’s in a quarantine cage in a low light basement and I’ve restricted her access to feed to discourage laying. I apply sugar on her prolapse every day to help shrink it as well as cortisone-10. I started giving her epsom salt baths...
I have a 1-year-old easter egger hen with prolapse. It's not a severe case, and it hasn't gotten worse, but I noticed it a few days ago, and it hasn't been improving. I sprayed it with Vetericyn and rubbed some cortisone-10 on it and pushed it back in but it hasn't gotten better. her butt is...
I have a one year old female ancona duck with 1 bumble on her left foot and 2 bumbles on her right foot that have been there for months now. Every morning and night i clean her feet, spray with vetericyn, and apply original neosporin. I was bandaging her feet for a short while before it got too...
Has anyone ever used an online poultry veterinarian for their geese or ducks?
How was your experience with them, cost, and were you able to get a prescription from them for an antibiotic?
I have a goose with a few bumblefoot lumps because he is a dunderhead and was trying to fight with some...
Hello! If you would to skip over the additional information my question is what are they veterinary costs for birds like in Ontario, Canada? I plan on taking her to a vet that has probably only ever dealt with birds like budgies/parakeets as I don't think I have many other options. I'm looking...
My Chickens eye (it got removed) keeps getting swollen, ive seen a vet about it and hes drained it about 5 times now but it keeps getting swollen. I don't know what to do about it and I can't keep seeing a vet for it because of tight money issues (the stuff he takes out is hard and yellow, and...
Female coturnix quail has diarrhea. The substance is clear in color with occasional white patches, and is very runny. Been collecting samples to show the vet. In the spare time, what could I do to help her? Should I separate her from the flock?

Hi there,
I’ve hatched two geese and they seem to be growing and doing very well until today. They’re a week old today and one of the goslings sounds slightly congested and I’m worried. His third eyelid is slightly covering his eye like dogs or cats when they are sick and he occasionally...
hello, i need help!
our ducklings are sick!
OK, SYMTOMS ARE : breathing hard, fever, mouth open, butt pulses, boady shaking at bed time, and sleepy all the time.
i took away there pond. they only have drinking water now.
My Muscovy hen, Biscuit, seems to have swelling around her vent and in her gut. This is in correlation with the mating season. The drakes (who are not muscovies and are a lot faster than her) have been awful to her and it’s gotten to the point where I’m questioning making a roast duck dinner...
Have you ever hatched a chick that looked like this on the belly?
I have no idea what to do!
She seems fine in every other way!
I don’t know what to do.
What would you do!?
We finally found a few chicks to keep my lone Brahma chick company (the guy the batch was hatched for didn’t want it because it ended up being splash); 4 2-3 week old buff Orpington chicks that are just a little younger than my Brahma, 3 of which look to be hens :fl.
We brought them home, they...
Hey y’all
ive been noticing around one of my 4-week old Pekin’s eye something new happening. I can’t tell if it’s normal for feather/down growth or if it’s something that needs to be seen by a medical professional. I will post photos of one eye from both my ducks for compare/contrast purposes.
