STINKY BREATH/HEAD AREA, AND SLIGHTLY RASPY BREATHING!!

[Emilysclukscluks]

Ok so we’ve done two days of coconut oil. And I’ve been looking in her mouth all though it is not an easy feat, I do think I saw a little white spot and maybe some whitish liquid deep in her throat. She still stinks pretty darn bad, but she is still acting happy and healthy preening lots great appetite etc. There is a exotic vet that for sure deals with parrots near us, so should have some bird knowledge, Thinking about at least calling. Here we are getting ready for bed tonight! Really hoping whatever it is she has clears up soon!! Will also try the fennel tea and have given her some coconut kefir!

It would be worth calling the Avian Vet to see what they say.

That white spot could be canker or fowl wet pox but as she's having some bad stink I'll go with canker how's her crop feels like first in the morning ?


Fennel tea is antifungal too
But if there's canker it has to be treated with proper antibiotic like Metrogel if there's any Avian vet I would recommend u to must go and check don't wait cause canker can be hard to treat in sever form

Hello everyone!
So I wasn't super happy with how dolly's apt. went. I thought because they were an exotic vet they would know something about chickens but I was wrong. The vet just googled stuff the whole time I was there. I was worried about coryza because the stink and I have noticed a little bit of clear discharge from her nose, he didn't think so because she doesn't have any of the other symptoms. He said her lungs sounded clear which I was surprised about too because of her wheezing. So anyways in the end he prescribed her Doxycycline for 14 days, she has been on it for 3 days and I haven't noticed much of a difference in the smell or wheezing (she is especially wheezey at night) he is assuming it is some sort of upper respiratory illnesss. I then really wanted to do a blood test to send to a lab so I would have a better idea what were dealing with, he said he would look into it, I would be surprised if I received a call from him about it. I don't believe it has anything to do with her crop, it is super empty in the morning. Another ideas or tips would be seriously appreciated!!!

I'm sorry the appointment did not go too well.
Try the Doxy for the full 14 days and see what happens.

I don't know what else you can try unless you start eliminating treats or gradually switch brands/type of feed to see if food(s) are causing the smell.

Ohh dear
Exotic vets don't have knowledge about the chickens sorry about that

Regarding
coryza, which is also referred to as a cold or roup, is caused by the bacterium Haemophilus paragallinarum.
Typical signs of coryza include the following:

• Swelling around the face
• Foul-smelling, thick and sticky discharge from the nostrils and eyes
• Labored breathing
• Rales

Because coryza is caused by bacteria, antibiotics can be used to treat a flock. It is important to follow the labels on any medication. Although antibiotics can be effective in reducing clinical signs of the disease, they do not eliminate the bacteria from carriers.
ENROFLOXCACIN 10% (BAYTRIL WORKS GREAT) AS ITS A BOARD SPECTRUM ANTIBIOTIC AND WORK FASTER

DOXY IS MAY NOT WORK BECAUSE DOXYCYCLINE IS USE IN ONLY BREATHING ISSUES OR LUNG INFECTION NOT ON BACTERIA KIND LIKE CORYZA

I really don't think this is Infectious Coryza. Chick is too bright, active, shows no facial swelling or serious respiratory symptoms.
I see no point of considering to introduce any other antibiotics. This is only day 3 give the medication time to work and allow the OP to follow the vet's instructions.
There are other illnesses it could be, but again, chick is still too bright and active for me to think she is suffering from anything major at this time

"Cyclines" are still commonly used to treat respiratory illness including IC. While not as effective on Coryza it can still be used in conjunction with sulfa medications.
The following links have photos of chickens with Infectious Coryza.

Yeah that's what happens.in.farm areas and this thing is pretty fatal


I think she start baytril as baytril will work with res. Infection ..I used earlier Neomycin & Doxycycline in mild In infection it works super good


But recommed some Smz & Tmz oral sol recently to a broiker chick whose having CRDView attachment 1619022 it works on that nicely and Recover it in 5 days
