Wet/Yellow stinking spot under wing of hen(GRAPHIC PICTURES)

[KipselLife]

Hello!
Since a long time iam trying to fight whatever this thing under Sambals wing is.
Sambal is a 2+ year old silkie/cochin mix
She doesnt seem very bothered by it(she does angrily try to help ripping it off when i deal with it tho),eats drinks
and lives as usual.
Its VERY smelly(i can smell her from a distance),if i remove the yellow crust it returns within a day..
We have tried multiple anti mold lotions,tried desinfecting and wrapping it, desinfecting without wrapping...we have run out of ideas.She has had a mold before that started on her face and spread on her body,but it
was successfully treated with lotion.Iam thinking its something bacterial but we cannot get antibiotics without a prescription of the vet..who has no idea either. Maybe anyone here has seen this before and a clue how to fix it?
(full body picture is old,wing ones from today)

Your vet should be able to take a swab or scratch or whatever sample necessary to analyze and determine what it is exactly you are dealing with. This would be the first thing to do, as without knowing, every attempt at a treatment will be just random.

Once you know, you can treat accordingly.

Although many vets seem to not know the first thing about chickens/poultry, they should at least be able and willing to take a sample and send it off to a laboratory, and then prescribe the necessary drugs for treatment, once the results come in.

You could even take samples yourself and send them in to have them analyzed. Just call your state vet lab and talk to them, they will instruct you how to go about it.

So, how is your little Sambal doing?

It would be hard to know if it is an infection or abscess, or a tumor. Can you clean off any of the yellow material and clean it with chlorhexidene or Betadine?
