    Pullet gasping/wheezing- HELP

    New and much more exciting update: the wobby pullet looks better! No more open mouth breathing and she can now walk with a limp. Much improved from her previous backward stumbling and falling over. Not sure what was wrong with her but it looks like she is on the mend!

    Pullet gasping/wheezing- HELP

    Update from today: the weak pullet is still in the same condition. Wobbly and unable to do much. The sneezing hen seems to have made a full and speedy recovery; she even laid eggs yesterday and today. My current theory is that a respiratory virus went through my flock and for some reason...

    Pullet gasping/wheezing- HELP

    I have been giving her B vitamin complex nutritional yeast every day, she doesn't seem to be improving at all. The sneeze that the second one is doing I have never seen the first one do, but they both had the wide open mouth breathing and mucusy breath sounds. However, the second hen seems much...

    Pullet gasping/wheezing- HELP

    Oh god... Another one of my hens is now displaying respiratory symptoms. She's breathing with her mouth open and doing this weird, miserable sounding cough... I attached a video below. When she does this occasionally some mucus will fly put of her mouth. What can this be? The same as the other...

    Hopefully this video uploads, I tried to capture her best attempts at walking. does this kind of issue look familiar to anyone?

    Pullet gasping/wheezing- HELP

    Tonight we gave her her last dose of the dewormer. She still seems much the same... her balance and walking seems to be deteriorating, though. I gave her b vitamin fortified nutritional yeast today in hopes that may help with that in case it's a neurological issue, but the breathing is still an...

    Pullet gasping/wheezing- HELP

    I did administer her first dose today.. I'm pretty sure I did about what you said. I'm not sure of her actual weight, but she is relatively small so I'm operating under the assumption she's about a pound. She may be less than that, but everything I read says an overdose of fenbendazole isn't...

    Any artists out there?

    Not sure if this is the right place for this, but I made a little clay doll of one of my little chickies and wanted to share it! The model:

    Pullet gasping/wheezing- HELP

    That's not really an option for me... the feed store where I got it is almost an hour away and I don't have the time to go there and back soon. Is it at all possible to dilute it 1 part solution, 1 part water so that it's a similar concentration?

    Pullet gasping/wheezing- HELP

    Thank you so much for the response! After doing some research, I know that the aquasol is twice as concentrated as the 10% solutions... does that mean if I got, say, .115 ml of the aquasol and mixed that with .115 ml of water, it would be the same concentration as the 10% and I could give it...

    Also, can you give the dewormer via oral syringe directly or does it have to be dissolved in their drinking water? I'm just worried she won't get enough of the dewormer and my other chicks will get too much.

    This is it, I also got VetRx to give her. Hopefully something will help..

    Pullet gasping/wheezing- HELP

    I got the Safeguard oral suspension for chickens... do you know the dosing for that? It seems like it gives dosing based on flock weight but my flock is pretty small (10 bantams) so unsure what dosage I should do.
