I have a 2.5 year old phoenix rooster who had an injury on his right lower ear lobe this past spring. It healed over with a lump. I didn't think anything of it until the lump started getting bigger and then opened into a sore. Took him to the vet who did a quick cut and stitch and put him on baytril.
He was cooped up with a hen on baytril with bumblefoot. I'm thinking a piece of contaminated straw stabbed him in the face and got the infection going again, on the left side this time, right at the beak. Took him back to the vet.
That was several weeks ago. He's still not better. He was on baytril, then Amikacin and now Zosyn. He's starting to eat and drink less and his poops are very small. He perked up on the Amikacin but that damages the kidneys so he could only be on a short round of it.
Any ideas?
