[Kathleen Stevens]

I have some VetRx, but have lost the instructions. i have a hen who shows signs of fowl pox. white scab on comb, white spots on her wattles below her ears, diarrea and large red spot on her back with no feathers. I thought the rooster did that damage. now im not so sure. I dont know how much vetrx to give her. and for how long. please help. thank you.

Hi @Kathleen Stevens Welcome To BYC
Can you post some photos of your hen - the poop, the scabs and spot on her back too?
If she has Dry Form of Fowl Pox, it would be better to leave the scabs alone since disturbing them can cause them to spread. Uncomplicated Fowl Pox will run it's course in several weeks without treatment. If you feel you need to put something on the scabs you can use Iodine to help dry them up.

Knowing your location is sometimes helpful as well - are you in the US (what state) or another country?
