HELP, Rooster's throat IS clogged

[Roosterfeather]

Hi there, I have a rooster with His throat clogged with a brown blockage that looks like a yeast blockage, I searched the internet, but all it brought up was impacted crop. Does anyone have an idea what it might be? He is not being able to eat or drink very much and is very light And skinny and starting is to get pale. He is about 5 years old, And is a bantam mix. I am giving him lincomycin Which is an antibiotic for chickens.
Any comments welcome!

It may be Canker. I would assume taking a picture of the inside of a chickens mouth would be quite difficult. how big it it?
good luck <3

I found cheesy looking stuff in my chicken's mouth. I used a Qtips gently scrub it out a little bit at a time. I did have it all removed in the end. He was put on antibiotic for something else but it must had help also.

That's either thrush or canker. You need meds for that.

I remember reading about canker with another chicken, That could be it, I'll have to read into it again to refresh my memory and look at the symptoms.
But yeah, it would be It would be too hard to try to take a picture of the inside of his beak. What do you mean, the rooster or the blockage?

About Qtips, I might try the q-tip at least and put him on metronidazole From the other comment. What was the antibiotic he was put on? Was it metronidazole?

He was on Enrofloxacin for having respiratory issue. Then after a week of this, he had cheesy stuff growing inside his mouth and also sour crop. I cleaned his mouth with Qtips and epsom salt drink for sour crop. He recovered. So I am guessing all treatments helped.

It was a long story about him having respiratory issue. He was rehome to an animal rescue place, my mom found out and was upset about it, so I got him back after a month and he was very sick when I collected him. Next day I took him to the vet and the VET gave him Enrofloxacin.

Oh, my quite a story. Do you happen to know what the name of the rescue place was?
What state are you in? Was the animal rescue place in your state?
