In the Brooder
Hello, My male guinea can not perch any longer.. He's in a cardboard box lined with straw. Normally we use wood chips. So last week we noticed he would follow the flock but then lay on the ground and not participate... If the flock moved he moved with them and layed nearby on the ground with his head tucked in... over 50 hrs ago.. He started refusing to eat and drink.. Yesterday I gave him a tiny amount of Equimax in the morning then in the evening.. Today I gave him a tiny amount of IverCare but only 1 time.. I have been hand feeding water about 10 ml every 2 hrs 6 to 8 times daily.. He poops green and white.. He suddenly gets powerful when he wants to reject drinking. I notice that since yesterday he's getting worse at breathing.. He's only breathing, almost gasping, through his mouth.. I have no idea if he has any worms or not. There are no signs around the nose of drainage or dust blockage.. It seems like something is going on internally either bacterial or parasite...He never moves once we leave him alone. He even lets my wife pick him up and hold him while I give him water. But he's starting to fight off the water only because he's gasping just to breath. I am of course seeking any advice possible.. Thankyou
