Lump under beak

[Eggcessive]

Canker is a protozoan infection inside the beak, and appears as yellow to grey gunk, and it is carried by pigeons. It spreads throught the water from infected birds. Pictures would be helpful. Canker is treated with Fish Zole (metronidazole) 250 mg daily for 5-6 days. Here is some reading and pictures:

A vet could confirm the diagnosis. Canker may also look similar to the wet form of fowl pox. Here is where to buy FishZole:

Smell is worse today. She is very lethargic and labored breathing. I’ve continued with the Tylan but doesn’t sound like that is what she needs. Based on your experience, would you keep a chicken when she is a carrier? I’m just afraid my other 2 will end up with the same problem. My hens have basically been very healthy. I really don’t know what to do. Thank you!

It's very hard to know what's going on with her.
Are there lesions, canker blocking her airway too?

It’s hard to see but I don’t think there is anything blocking. I’ve ordered the Flagyl.

Should I order 250 or 500?

Get the 250.

Has her breathing improved?

Will do. No not yet but she ate a little scrambled egg this morning and I got some water down her. She just sits in my lap with her eyes closed though. . Should I order cooper sulfate too?

It wouldn't be a bad idea to get the Acidified Copper Sulfate to put in the flock's water since you might be dealing with canker.

It shows to be a root killer, it that the right one? Is it dangerous?

No, you want acidified copper sulfate, not copper sulfate. Here is a link for it:

Dosage is 1/4 tsp per gallon of water for 3 days a month.

Thank you so much. What is the dosage for Fish Zole?
