One was treated with metronidazole at 50mg/kg for five days and got better, the other one has not recovered yet. Need to come up with another plan for it.

Do you know if cows get this? I think I have heard of cows getting it. What is it, exactly, and did you just scrape it out?

In birds, canker is trichomoniasis. Cattle also get trichomoniasis, but I don't think it affects their mouths:

I tried to yesterday and it bled a lot by just wiping it. Today I tried again in the front portion and it started bleeding a bit. I wasn’t sure if I should continue. I don’t really have any supplies to do that other than my finger or a spoon. Hard to keep her head still and mouth open too.

Hi @casportpony, I bought some copper sulphate and planning to follow the instructions from one of your provided resources here (https://www.pets4homes.co.uk/pet-advice/how-to-treat-canker-in-poultry.html).

I noticed canker in two of my pullets, I had them isolated but I fear that others might have gotten it too by now.

Just want to ask, did you use the copper sulphate before?

Thanks.
