When you look at the skin nodules and some of the other symptoms they can be casually dismissed as mareks, canker, and or mycoplasma gallesepticum unless you carefully learn what they look like and the differences.
Under gross lesions: the larynx, the blood reminds me of ILT and could be coughed out just like ILT, the nares resemble MG (mycoplasma gallesepticum also know as CRD), and canker a protozoa). It's important to know the differences and if you ask for help, try to take close up cell phone or camera photos, and study other symptoms. What we think may be clear cut ILT can be fowl pox. Isn't that a rip?

Wet pox is much more serious than dry pox, though a case of virulent dry pox can wipe out a flock just as well. Even mild cases leave birds with lowered immune responses and damage birds. Some become carriers. It is not a disease to mess with or dismiss, and should be vaccinated against if it is in your area.

In the diphtheritic or wet form, fibrino-necrotic and proliferative (canker) lesions form on the mucous membranes of the mouth, pharynx, esophagus, and trachea.
Both forms of fowl pox:
Fowl pox is an economically important disease of commercial poultry because it is associated with a drop in egg production and may cause mortality.
