    Wheezing but otherwise normal

    You would think. But this vet is someone I know, but who’s expertise I don’t trust. I just go to them when I know what I want and can get it easily. I took the bird to a another vet and he said he thought the bird had pneumonia (maybe a problem with translation) so he gave me some antibiotics...

    Wheezing but otherwise normal

    Yes, no problem eating or drinking. Also, she looked a little pale in the face today. I just went to my local vet (who knows nothing about birds). He gave me half a (Fenbendazole) pill, which is about 25 mg. She’s probably a 2lb bird so you’re telling me I should give her about .5ml (0.005mg I...

    Wheezing but otherwise normal

    I just checked her beak and throat (as best I could) and saw nothing that looked suspicious. She eats and drinks fine. She has a great appetite and forages vigorously. She had a big pile of black soldier fly larva this morning. Her crop seemed somewhat empty this morning. She eats a lot so...

    Wheezing but otherwise normal

    Sorry, I thought I added a video. Can I not add a video here? I’ll try to share one somehow. To answer your questions; She’s only about a year old. She is laying every day. Just had one this morning. How do I check her abdomen for blood or fluid? No new birds, although wild birds can and often...

    Wheezing but otherwise normal

    This is definitely something new and we’ve been having hotter days for months now. Today when I took this video it wasn’t too hot at all. And she’s the only one making this sound.

    Wheezing but otherwise normal

    She’s been wheezing for a few days. That’s it though. Otherwise she looks great and her behavior is normal. She’s away from the rest in a crate and occasionally out on her own. It’s very hot here so the whole flock is usually mouth open, wings out, as you’ll see in he video. I don’t want to give...

    Lethargic rooster. Sitting/sleeping with beak in the ground.

    So upsetting. I didn’t move fast enough. By the time I found a place that had the product I posted above, driving quite a ways to pick it up, and also stopping by a few pharmacies to try to get antibiotics (most won’t give you any without a prescription) I got back just in time to see him check...

    Lethargic rooster. Sitting/sleeping with beak in the ground.

    I just found a source for corid. I’ll be picking some up today. Also noticed bloody poop this morning. No bird vets in my area so I won’t be able to get him a shot of antibiotics. What’s the best way to administer, and any idea of the dosage. I suppose I can google it. Thanks again! Where are...

    Lethargic rooster. Sitting/sleeping with beak in the ground.

    Thanks TropicalBabies! I’m searching for Corid but things are difficult for me to find here. I’ve got someone helping me search. I’ve been force feeding him but he hasn’t perked up much. Is there any reason I shouldn’t give him antibiotics? I mean, it’s possible he’s got a bacterial infection...

    Lethargic rooster. Sitting/sleeping with beak in the ground.

    Thanks! Yeah, he’s been drinking. He’s been more vocal today. No crowing but just some clucks as he wanders around. Maybe doing better, but still spending a lot of time sitting/sleeping.

    Lethargic rooster. Sitting/sleeping with beak in the ground.

    My poor boy. I’ve got an entirely new flock of 11 birds. Mixed bunch of small Japanese variety and big polish. My sick bird is a polish rooster. Not sure how old, maybe a year. He’s very lethargic, not exploring with the rest of the flock even when I bring out fresh food (veg, fruit scraps). He...
