Possible Fowl Pox (Duck)

[DiamondSwan]

Well, there's nothing discolored or anything in his mouth under the injury. Hopefully it will heal right up on it's own. I'm so glad it's not Fowl Pox.

I'm not exactly sure what this is, but it's a dark, raised lump on my Pekin drake's bill. I'm wondering if it might be the start of Fowl Pox. It just showed up recently. Any ideas?

Looks like a blood blister actually... try a warm, wet, epsom salt compress on it and see if it loosens anything up...

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Good idea for the ES compress.

I'm wondering how he managed to hurt himself.

update?

It's completely gone and back to normal. It was just a scab that eventually fell off.
