Injury, Canker, or Oral Yeast infection?

I'm interested if you saw any lesions inside her mouth. Smell the inside of her mouth and let us know what you see and smell.

There is something in the corner of her mouth when I did have a peek inside yesterday. I didn't notice a smell, but will double check when I get the pictures today.

There's a slight smell of infection. Nothing putrid.

It might be a yeast infection, not sure. If it was necrotic and had a very bad odor, it would definitely be canker.
Nystatin will treat yeast infections. Here's a link if you decide to buy it:

I don’t know if Monistat or miconazole cream given orally would help as much.

I do have an issue with the product though. It's not for food producing birds, & I sell eggs, & eat eggs.

It is just the same medicine as Nystatin which is used to treat oral thrush in babies, children, and adults. Probiotics might be helpful if it is thrush/fungal. Or you could wait and see if it increases or develops an odor as canker would. Metronidazole is the treatment for canker, 250 mg daily for 5-7 days.

So, it's a 100% safe product? Why is it not approved for meat, & egg producing birds then?

Yeah, if it's safe for humans, why the warning? A good question for the manufacturer. You might want to give them a call.
