Canker

Canker is a protozoal infection caused by Trichomonas gallinae, affecting the mouth, throat, crop, and upper digestive tract. It is most commonly listed in pigeons, doves, and some aviary birds.

Also used in chickens and other poultry for trichomoniasis.

Signs listed: yellow or white patches in the mouth or throat, mouth lesions, difficulty swallowing, poor appetite, weight loss, crop discomfort, and lethargy.

How to use | Stated directions

  • 1 teaspoon (5 g) per quart of drinking water
  • Treat for 5–7 days
  • Prepare fresh solution daily
  • Provide treated water as the only water source

If signs do not improve, consider bacterial infections, fungal infections, vitamin deficiencies, or crop-related disorders — not a longer guess at the same course.
