    Chicken with swollen eyelid, congested sounding breathing and sluggish, please help!

    We put her to rest yesterday evening. She was declining, she couldn’t get much food in her anymore. Fortunately yesterday was really good weather, so when I got home from work I took her outside until sunset so she could scratch around for worms with my second chicken and dust bathe in the sun...

    Chicken with swollen eyelid, congested sounding breathing and sluggish, please help!

    Hi all here’s an update: Her condition is about the same, still drinking and eating a little chopped veggies and fruit. I’ve been syringe feeding her some liquid crumbles with some unsweetened applesauce and probiotics when I get home from work. Today I had her in my lap and was giving her some...

    Chicken with swollen eyelid, congested sounding breathing and sluggish, please help!

    So I got a look in her mouth just a bit ago, the yellow plaque is still there. Looked a little discolored in a couple small spots, but seems still pretty much the same size. Could not see very well if there were any noticeable scabs from the blood so I don’t really know where the bleeding wound...

    Chicken with swollen eyelid, congested sounding breathing and sluggish, please help!

    Here she is, she still has some dried blood on her face, I did not see any new blood spots in her enclosed area. I’m thinking of rinsing her eyes with a little saline. She’s drinking a lot of water (still some bubbly saliva on her beak). I’m going to make a mixture of thyme, rosemary, cilantro...

    Chicken with swollen eyelid, congested sounding breathing and sluggish, please help!

    Checked on her this morning, it appeared the bleeding had stopped overnight and most of the dried blood on her face was gone, where she had scratched it off. She was still resting while I was getting both chickens set up for the day. I left her some fresh plain water and a plate of wet mash and...

    Chicken with swollen eyelid, congested sounding breathing and sluggish, please help!

    I won’t be able to check on her frequently tomorrow since I have to work and won’t be home till late afternoon.., should I leave anything out for her like some fresh plain water or wet food? I read somewhere on this website that Acidified Copper Sulfate could burn exposed/wounded tissue so I...

    I’ve been sitting in the coop with her for a while now, she was resting and breathing quietly and then she lifted her head and shook it a couple times, and a huge blood clot came out, it’s about the size of a quarter… I don’t know if she’ll make it.. her face is covered in blood. I’m going to...

    Chicken with swollen eyelid, congested sounding breathing and sluggish, please help!

    The plaque is partly in her throat so I don’t know how to apply pressure if possible… and it was fairly large, I got a look at it briefly before I started hand feeding her/the bleeding and it looked off-colored like green/dark brown in some areas. It definitely is starting to clot, she has some...

    Chicken with swollen eyelid, congested sounding breathing and sluggish, please help!

    Hi all thought I’d give an update: today she finished her third full day of ACS water, checked her mouth and the yellow plaque was still there, it was hard for me to get a good look at it though to see if it shrunk in size. She was a little more energetic this morning than before, did not eat...

    Chicken with swollen eyelid, congested sounding breathing and sluggish, please help!

    Also I read on a few threads here that I will need to give probiotics after treatment with the ACS. Can I give her some during treatment or should it only be afterwards, and what kind of probiotics should I give? I have some yogurt and powdered probiotics in the pill capsules I could sprinkle on...

    Chicken with swollen eyelid, congested sounding breathing and sluggish, please help!

    Would the Acidified Copper Sulfate help with the mucus? If it is possibly nasal drainage, if I were to try treating her for a few days with the Tylosin again to help with her breathing, would it be okay to use along with the ACS? Thank you again for all of your help through this!

    Chicken with swollen eyelid, congested sounding breathing and sluggish, please help!

    Also noticed too that it seems to worsen while/right after she takes a drink of water. It makes it harder for her to eat, I can tell she wants to eat but when it gets stuck in her mouth she becomes disinterested for a bit then tries again.

    Chicken with swollen eyelid, congested sounding breathing and sluggish, please help!

    Thank you for the links! I ordered some ACS and it should arrive around Friday. I just got home and she ate a little pepper, but I’m concerned because I noticed some very thick mucus/saliva in her water where she must have drank and it came out of her mouth, and there was more small globs...

    Chicken with swollen eyelid, congested sounding breathing and sluggish, please help!

    So here’s an update: beginning of the week I started treating her yellow sore with an iodine q-tip for four days, Thursday I came home from work and she was definitely feeling worse. I had left the coop door ajar so she could get some fresh air and I think she got chilled through. Her whole body...

    Chicken with swollen eyelid, congested sounding breathing and sluggish, please help!

    @triciayoung Hi is it still possible for it to be IC even though she has no foul odor from her mouth? I managed to swab the yellow plaque in her throat with a q-tip and there is no odor from it. The past couple days I've applied some diluted betadine to it on a q-tip. I've still been washing her...
