My 4year old Suffolk developed a dark thin scabby area in one corner of her mouth some time ago which disappeared and then came back again recently. I also noticed that she has become more picky with her eating and appears to have difficulty swallowing. She also has a yellowish grey lesion on the floor of her mouth. She is quite bright in herself but spends more time now resting with tail down and head under her wing ...? because of lack of food/energy. Her droppings are normal but very small.
After reading as much as I could these last few days, I now believe the problem may have started several months ago when I began leaving their leftover afternoon bowl of soaked rolled oats and grain mix in their pen overnight. We live in a tropical region and I'm now really worried that mould/fungal spores may have formed mycotoxins and caused fusariotoxicosis. If so, I would greatly appreciate any suggestions on how I can manage her .. toxin binding products? feeding? treating oral (and gut ??) lesions. Thankyou.
