Mucus and white lesions in mouth, please help

[josie1]

Thank you @Wyorp Rock. He is no worse, maybe even feeling a bit brighter in himself. The white lesions are still there but I think the mucus is slightly less. He’s had 3 doses of the medicines now. He doesn’t mind the baytril but hates the metronidazole.

He’s crowed lots today and chased after his girls and enjoyed some hard boiled egg.

His ears are still very sore though. I used the hydrogen peroxide this evening and cleaned a bit out. I will work on it more tomorrow.

I’m also wondering if his legs look ok now. They look red and not quite right to me. I will post a photo of them.

He's a big boy so hard to tell if the feet are slightly swollen or not.
Roosters can have a pinkish/red flush to the legs due to hormones. It's more readily seen in a white legged breeds like BOs.

If it won't stress him, it never hurts to give them a little spa treatment, soaking the legs in warm epsom salts, drying well and then you can apply a little oil to the legs if you wish.

Thank you again @Wyorp Rock. I will give him a soak tomorrow. I have a big bag of Epsom salt ready for any hens that need the spa treatment. It’s suddenly got very cold here so maybe that is affecting his legs.

He is a big boy. This is him back in the summer.

Thank you both @Wyorp Rock and @casportpony. He is a special boy. My children named him King Henry because he has 6 girls who love him lots so they are his wives! Also he is a ginger like the king.

I have cleaned pus from his ears today so I can see inside them now and there is yellow gunk in there. I tried with a qtip to get it out but couldn’t. Do I leave it or try again tomorrow? I used hydrogen peroxide and antibiotic cream.

How's he doing?

I like the name! King Henry is so fitting

If he is doing o.k. I would probably see if the gunk will move/come up in the morning.
You may need to put a warm compress over the ear to help loosen it a little, worth a try.
If he is agreeable and holds still, you also may be able to reach in with a thin pair of tweezers and pull out the gunk(?) Just some thoughts there.

Is the mucous and white plaques going away?
