Oral thrush??

[Jose11632]

Hens has yellow lesions in mouth doesn’t seem to hurt her. Acting normal, eating normal breathing normal, no nasal discharge no bubbly eyes no sneezing walks normal. Lesions don’t smell bad so I don’t know if it’s cankers and it definitely isn’t fowlpox since she lives in a separate coop when a hen from another coop had wet pox and looks nothing like her and acted severely bad.

What’s the treatment for oral thrush?

Can you get your vet to test it for thrush or canker. Since it sounds like there has been pox in the area of the chickens, it could still be wet pox. Those 3 things are all possible, but as I said in your other thread, canker is said to have a bad odor. Thrush, candida, or yeast is a fungus and is treated with antifungal medicines. Nystatin or Medistatin powder can be found online. I don’t know if the antifungal creams (Monistat, clotrimazole, miconazole) will help, but might. There is no cure for wet pox, and it will eventually go away. You have the info on canker from your other thread.

Okay also I had a hen living with the sick ones and she never got wet pox nor dry pox, how? She was near then ate with them and slept with them. We vaccinated the welsummer and others in the wing with the vaccine, thing is I have seen that little piece on the right side of the beak for over a week I just thought it was feed stuck but it wasn't.

Found this one but it’s only 25 grams and the instructions say 5 grams per 200 grams of feed for 5 to 7 days but it’s only enough for 5 days would the feed would have to be changed daily?

 

[Jose11632]

Would nystatin creme work?

Would the 25 gram bottle work? And should I administer it as how it say. Thanks in advance

Would the 25 gram bottle be enough for 5 hens that live with her?

I don’t believe in treating chickens who do not show symptoms. Here is some info on dosage:
https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/medistatin-nystatin-dose.1211995/

In link it says to mix 1 gram (about 1/4 tsp) in 20 ml of water, and give 1 ml for every 100 grams of weight.
