What is this under my chicken's tongue?

You can get povidone iodine 10% for less cost at Walmart first aid aisle, labeled Equate First Aid Antiseptic or at Target labeled Povidone Iodine for under $9.

I would disinfect all feeders and waterers, and separate the one with possible canker. Canker is a disease carried by pigeons, and wild birds can spread it to flocks. Prevent drinking from puddles.

Thank you for the specific recommendation. She's been separated since I made the post and I've been cleaning all their feeders and waterers. Others have been inspected and no smell or cankers either (for now I cant be so sure yet). Currently still waiting on medicine.

I checked her mouth again and there's no new growth under her tongue nor roof of her mouth and as far down I can see her throat. I cleaned up the rest of the bits from yesterday as it's tough by myself. She's still active and interested in eating/drinking albeit the difficulty to do so. I've syringe (3ml syring) fed her water+acv but letting her feed herself very slowly as I'm also waiting for the materials to tube feed her safely. Today's my day off so I'm observing her and feeling her crop every now and then.

When my parents are home later, I may try and syringe feed her mash like this https://www.backyardchickens.com/ar...dications-to-all-poultry-and-waterfowl.73335/
 
I apologize for the constant posting (feel free to mute) but it's helping me not spiral as I love this one girl very dearly. I'm alone in this experience as there's no vets or anyone nearby that want to/can help.

1830 Syringe fed her by myself which was a bit messy and stressful but she didn't aspirate even once and turned her head to me after each small pump as if she was asking me wtf i was doing to her. Didn't feed her the whole portion to not stress her out more but her crop isnt empty and she went straight to sleep after.

Tube fed her for the first time by myself about 40-60ml of wet mash twice today. Felt her crop at 1740 and it's full but squishy assuming bc of the mash.

Do you know where I can get Metronidazole 250mg tablet/pill form without vet rx? I've combed through threads and links given from old threads don't work or the product is not available anymore.
