I am reading the label. The blue Kote is an Antiseptic and a germicidal. It also says that it controls secondary infections. And it is effective against bacterial infections. It says nothing about being a cover up.

How I have used turmeric powder:

Clean wound (I use saline solution or hydrogen peroxide).
Put turmeric powder directly on the wound. (It really does help stop bleeding).
For the first days smeared Bag Balm over top of powder to help with protection from flies.
Did the above 2xs a day for the first few days, then went to just powdering the wound and no Bag Balm 2xs a day, and then went to 1x a day until I felt it was no longer needed.

Before I was using all western med supplies on the wound and it had made absolutely no progress in healing, thank goodness someone clued me in on Tumeric Powder as it is used in India and various other countries on people & livestock.

I am way impressed with the advice I got on putting the powder directly on the wound, it really did turn a bloody pulp of a wound around and heal it up nicely.

I bought my Turmeric Powder at Wal-Mart.

Might have to get some of this powder and try mixing it into some swat.

Not that I have ever dealt with fowl pox,whether dry or wet form. I have not read where there is much of anything that cures it, as it's a virus that has to run it's course. You can treat any secondary infections that might pop up with the fowl pox. I was reading a thread (will have to go look up its name) were the person had a heavy case of wet pox and used iodine on the areas that they had removed the scabs from in the mouth.

ETA the thread is called Wet and dry fowl pox XXX rated graphic pictures.

Quote: The only correct way of responding to this is So they say.. I know of a guy around L.A Californian who has a bad case of wet pox going throughout his whole flock, he has expensive bantams so he has tried everything to save them. He told me that he has cured many bantams with blue kote. I would talk to people who have actually used it before. People on the wet pox thread have never used it.

Yeah, google on the Vet colleges or the Merck manual has been interesting reads for me. Here's a paragraph on pox that is simple to read and understand.

Please be careful in using Blue Kote on chickens.
The manufacturer does state "not for use on food animals".
I use it but on only very small wounds and only once. My
experience has been it does dry out the skin and is not the best
thing to use on large area wounds if you want to try to heal the
skin back together.....there are better products for that. It is
not designed for use on viral infections but will help with any
secondary infections......i.e. the skin. Research of a problem
is always a good idea.

Sure you can't prevent it unless you vaccinate. But you can cure it when it happens, Lanravonsmurf I would strongly advice you to give it a try because if you want to save a bird that already has wet pox it is a good idea.
