Abcesses & Tumors - Graphic Pictures

[SilkiesnFrizzle]

That's not good. I thnk Silkies usually weigh about twice that? Any chance you could give her subcutaneous fluids?

I have not noticed any paralysis, no outward symptoms that would make me think of Marek's. I just noticed her eating a little bit of food on her own so I'm assuming the swelling hasn't constricted her throat to the point where she cannot get the food down. I also have been able to get the tube down her throat easily.

Female silkies should weigh 3 pounds/ 1.36 kg
After seeing the pic on your thread
her neck is badly infected and swollen. It’s definitely NOT Mareks disease. Keep cleaning her neck and also keep give her antibiotics, hope everything goes well.

Yes, she was in great pain so we euthanized her.

My friend's peahen:

I know this is an old thread, but is this tumor cancer or Merricks?

Has anyone seen this before?
She's got 2 like this and a few smaller ones on her underside, that no doubt will go the same.
Still eating laying and acting as normal

It was not a tumor, it was a ball of pus from a bacterial infection in the sinuses.
