Canker not improving any advice please

Hi all hoping for any advice
And following on from my previous post with very helpful advice but things have progressed


My silkie has been on Metronidazole for 3 weeks now, her canker has improved but she has canker either side of her lower beak, on top of this she’s now got a respiratory infection. She’s lost a massive amount of weight and I don’t think she’s going to survive this 😞

She was at the vet last week and the vet suggested we try iodine on the sores unfortunately this resulted in a massive bleed for which she had to be aneathhistised so they could stop the bleeding, my vet said the canker had ulcerated on a blood vessel.

The Metronidazole doesn’t seem to be doing anything now , and today she’s had a clicking in her chest , both cankers have also bled today , could the cankers not be cankers could it be anything else ? Her mouth does not smell at all

Is there anything else I can try ? What other conditions present the same as canker

Thank you
I’m hoping for an update on your Silkie! This sounds a lot like my bantam Cochin hen, no smell, necrotic tissue in mouth, and Metronidazole works for a while… I would love to talk with you about this if you are interested? Please send me a message!
