About a week ago I noticed my chicken Tiffany has a big yellow spot just above her eye, I took her to the vet and he squeezed it out like a spot and said it was nothing to worry about and that its just a wart. About 4 days later I noticed it was growing back and she had a some more yellow spots getting kind of bigger, She has one on her crown, one above her eye which looks the worst and sore and one on each side near her ears. So theres about 4 in total.
Since it had gotten worse we took her to the vet again and this time he didnt squeeze any of them but he gave 2 antibiotics (i think its antibiotics) one is Baytril and the other is Metronidazole.
She seems to have gotten worse since her trip to the vet on Friday , I dont know if its going to get worse before it gets better?
I havent separated her from the rest of the flock as I asked the doctor if i should and he said no since the rest have already been exposed.
She doesnt seem to be too unhappy, she's acting like her usual self and shes eating and drinking just fine.
All the other birds are fine except for one of them had a serious eye infection a short while ago and the doctor didnt think she was going to make it or he said she might go blind but luckily she pulled through and shes just fine, but we had separated her from the rest cause she needed looking after. And another one has a slightly runny nose but just from one nostril, the vet put her on the same medication as Tiffany which is Baytril and the other is Metronidazole.
I've also been cleaning her eyes cause the one with the spot above it didnt look too good!
I have some pictures although they are not great
Hopefully it will help and I hope whatever it is will go away, I cant bear loosing her!
Is there anything that I can do to help her recover quicker and make her feel more comfortable????
The first and second picture were taken today just after we gave her the medication.
This picture was taken on our way to the vet the second time round before it got bad
