One of my chickens has vent gleet. She has some yellowy whitish discharge but its really not a lot and im giving her yogurt.
Ive read in a lot of websites that you can apply anti fungal cream to the vent area, but I have epaderm cream. I searched it up online and it said it had anti fungi properties, but it isn't REALLY clear on the bottle if its anti fungal or not. I would use it, but I am wondering if it is harmful or bad for chickens (my epaderm cream not the anti fungal one) , or if she accidentally pecks at it whilst cleaning herself? I know that you can use athletes foot cream but will the epaderm cream work?
And ive also read that you can apply coconut oil to their vent, is this true? It will be really easy for me to apply coconut oil to her vent.
I know about the ACV in water and giving them a bath but im looking for more cures.
Thanks a lot for your help!
edit:
this is my cream bottle
thanks for your help!
another edit: when my other chicken was laying an egg, all my chickens were up watching her. so I took the advantage and grabbed my chicken which had vent gleet and looked closer up her butt. her feathers anent caked together, but they have small yellow powder on top. Is this something else?
