Suspected canker - treatment discussion

[kllyjansen]

I suspect a BLRW pullet in one of my flocks of having canker... she has a greyish sore/hole on the side of her beak. I grabbed some Fish Zole on the way home and intend to start administering this evening.

I'd like to also treat the entire flock she is with and found this information on treating canker with copper sulphate water: https://www.pets4homes.co.uk/pet-advice/how-to-treat-canker-in-poultry.html

Can I treat the affected pullet with the Fish Zole and give her and the rest of the flock copper sulphate treatment at the same time? Or should I stick with one treatment or the other? I want to aggressively treat the chicken with a known problem but still do due diligence on everyone else.

Thanks for your input!

Canker is rare in chickens, so don't worry too much about the others. Fine to treat all with acidified copper sulfate if it's labeled for use in poultry or birds.

Where do you get Fish zole? I'm pretty sure I have a hen with this problem.

Thank you
