I know there are some other threads on this, but none really answer the question I have:
My chicken has aspirated some liquid medicine. She is a silkie, and it was a .2mL dose. I don't think it ALL went into her trachea. She has been sitting on her perch making bubbly noises, open mouth breathing, and occasionally sneezing. It has been this way for about 7 hours with some progress (less gurgling, some periods of closed mouth breathing).
I know nothing can be done but to leave her alone, but I'm sick with worry and I'm wondering how much longer until it might stop if she's able to get it out?
She had a surgery two days ago, and I haven't slept since I left her at the vet. I just got her home today, and now this.
I have seen all of the "correct way to administer liquid medications" info. Please do not reply with them. I feel bad enough already.
