My 5 month old pullet Rusty just never gets any luck. She has got a sour crop that I treated, then a couple of infections along with yeast infection problems on her tongue. After spending about 400 dollars on a couple of vet visits and medications, she had gotten better, until now. My niece saw this weird growth inside her mouth, between her tongue and the corner of the beak. I don't think it's painful, or at least not painful enough that Rusty won't eat. She'd active and alert, and eats very well, but I don't have any money left for another vet visit (just finished paying my tuition and still owe part of the previous vet debt in my card). If i had the funds I wouldn't think twice to take her, but as it is now, I have to treat her at home.
I still have left over of the 3 antibiotics from her previous infection. Baytril is one of them, and I was thinking of giving her the meds for 7 days 2 a days. Also I wonder if I should try to pop the abscess somehow with a toothpick and see if the stuff inside will eventually come out as she uses her beak. I have no other ideas of how to treat her, but at least I'm glad that whatever she has seems to be more of a lesion than an illness.
Any suggestions on how to treat this thing until I get money to take her to the vet again?
