Chicken with bad infection on mouth/face (was Vitamin B complex injectable dosage for chicken)

I can? Yipee?

You can treat the bacterial infection and the fungal infection at the same time.

Just an option to keep in mind if suffering gets to a certain point.

Chickens are sensitive to treatments. It is best to treat for one thing at a time

Sometimes one must treat all bacteria and fungi at the same time. I think this might be one of those times.

I am waiting on her vet to call me back. I am not sure i want to spend more money on meds that don't work. lol
I wasn't to buy a topical cream and maybe an injectable or water soluble treatment to tackle that nasty fungus from the inside/outside

My vet has instructed me to do this.

It has been holding on for 11 months with this though.

The fungus is likely recent though. Fungus comes when the immune system is comromised

I think you should go with something like ketoconazole tablets. Don't think you'll be able to get an antifungal injectable.

Wanna see new pictures?
I don't know how she is still here. Eating and drinking. The pus has gone awry. She doesn't act like she has all that going on tho. The more i clean the eye and pus, the faster it comes back. I cannot wait for the Baytril to arrive.

This is when the advice of a vet is needed. Pretty sure mine would have me treat all three at the same time.

The problem is that the antibiotics will make the fungal infection worse.

Why that?
