EMERGENCY Rooster has sores on face, Is this chicken pox?

[Wyorp Rock]

I’ve never had to treat for fowl pox this is what I found for maybe it will help. You may want to also follow the instructions below for the flock itself just in case they do come down with it.

The biggest concern when Pox infects is to keep immune systems running at their best. The bird can and should be given vitamins that strengthen the defenses of the skin and mucous membranes, boost respiratory and ocular health, and promote rapid healing.

Vitamins A, D, and E are marvelously handy any time a flock is ill and particularly for pox cases. These oil vitamins are most effective in an oil form such as a liquid drop. Vitamin B12 or the range of B vitamins should also be provided as they give the birds energy, willing birds to thrive and fostering a healthy appetite. A bird that does not feel well will not heal well so helping them to feel better encourages healthy eating and drinking and reduces dehydration and malnutrition.

Individual birds can easily be given liquid baby vitamins such as Poly-Vi-Sol for human babies at a few drops per bird. This product is inexpensive and readily found in a no-iron-added form in the vitamin section of many stores.

Many drenches and vitamin products are also produced specifically for poultry; simply read the label for vitamins A, D, E, and B. Ideally these vitamins should be given in a quickly-eaten treat or by drops individually, not in water as sick birds can be reluctant to drink; however, the owner of a large flock may have to choose a water-soluble vitamin package and certainly will find them beneficial.

Fowl Pox is a virus and cannot be treated with any antibiotics (which are all designed to fight bacteria not viruses); however, secondary infections are common with FP. For the dry form, triple antibiotic ointments and creams can be priceless in treating the external sores. Dotting troublesome sores with an iodine-soaked cotton bud can penetrate deep into the core of these sores, fighting bacteria and sterilizing in areas other than those around the eyes. Regular triple-antibiotic ointment can be used even in the corners of the eyes and mouth as long as the ointment does not contain pain-killers.

In the case of wet-pox, it is rarely necessary or effective to treat with a systemic antibiotic as the respiratory problems are caused by lesions that are viral in nature. If severe respiratory distress happens, a veterinarian should be consulted. In the meantime, products like VetRx can help soothe the irritated airways and help birds to breathe and feel somewhat better.
