Sore in the corner of mouth, swollen face

[dawg53]

Canker presents itself as necrotic looking lesions inside the mouth and I didnt see any dark in color lesions in the photo. It's not Coryza, there are no other symptoms present, besides, other birds would show symptoms as well, it's the same with MG. Cancer could be an issue, but I'm not sure. You can try Metronidazole if you wish. Treatment is for 5-7 days and you should notice some improvement within 5 days.
Fosbac is an antibiotic and it wont treat canker since it's a protozoal infection. Fosbac would treat MG, and Coryza along with a sulfa drug.

Thank you I appreciate your insight.

So a slight change in things…
The sore is almost completely healed up. There is still swelling on the top side of her face but the lower half has lessoned. The last photo attached was before I cleaned it a few days ago. Poor thing is not used to being so manhandled.

Can you clean out that pocket.
The sinus looks like it's still swollen.

Pardon my ignorance, pocket? As in the mouth sore? Or is there something else you mean and I’m being clueless?

Can you press out any more pus or material out of that pocket inside her beak?

Ok so I just tried again and I managed to squeeze out some more gunk from the sore. I also squeezed the upper swollen side and what looked like blood streaked clear mucus came out through her nostril.

Poor thing. She sure does have an infection.
Hopefully you can treat this.

Should I try another course of Fosbac?

Did your hen recover? Did you try the metrokonazole?
