Hi everybody. Brand new to Byc. I have an 8 week old golden lace polish (aka Sweet One) and she is not doing so well. (Maybe a rooster....we are new at this stuff) Something has been wrong for almost 2 weeks now. To start off we found her in the run by herself crouching and barely moving. Her mouth was open and she was drooling with her head as far back as she could get it (resting it on her back). We immediately took her out and got some water in her. Long story short, we have had her inside a few times, she's on agrimycin 343 (only thing available in town) eats, drinks, poops, seems fine. So we put her back out after 4 or 5 days on antibiotics, she ran and sent the message to everybody not to mess with her, and everybody was getting along. All day long ....then it happened again but not as bad as the first time, her mouth opens up, drool starts flowing...but is alert (unlike the first time).. We now have her separated within the coup, seemingly fine, but every now and then her mouth opens up...and she gets weak. The others take advantage of this....so that is why she is separated. No foul smells, no runny eyes or nose. Nothing to see in her throat... Crop is fine....not seeming to have trouble breathing..sometimes when her mouth is open I can hear her breathing though. She generally shakes her head back and forth one or twice when she opens it up. She has an occasional sneeze. No cough. Any ideas?
