I was able to finally get a good look down her throat, and I didn't see anything. Could worms in general be causing her to do this? And what would be a good de-wormer?
And also, I was wondering, if people or other pets can catch the same lice/mites that chickens get? Thanks.
The funny thing is, she doesn't seem to show any of the other symptoms. But to be on the safe side I'm going to treat her for it anyway. Can I get either of these medications without a prescription? And will they treat any other worms she may have?
My cornish hen who's not quite a year, has been opening her mouth really wide as if she's yawning, sometimes she'll shake her head when she does it. She does it basically all day everyday. It's almost as if she's gagging. It's been going on for about three weeks. I tried to look down her...
I hope you all don't mind if I bump. - Just an update, she's acting the same. Toe still hasn't gone down. Her comb bothers me very much. It's dark and blueish. Only near the base of it, is it red. Please any advice would be very helpful. I'm gonna try to get her into a vet. If anybody knows any...

Thank you so much for the welcome Sorry that my first post was under such circumstances. I'm happy to report she's acting much better. More of her normal self. She still seems quite swollen though. And when she does poo it looks very mucas like. The crushed egg I got out of her looked like most...
Thank you so much for replying. Since posting I sat her in a warm bath. Which didn't seem to help much. So, I decided to go in and feel around. I think the experience was more traumatic for me then her. After a few failed attempts I finally got my pinky finger in. Before I even got the chance to...
I went into the coop this morning to find her in a puddle of yoke-like substance. Looked as if she had slept in it all night. Also found she had layed an egg (unbroken). When I first let her out she acted perfectly fine. Drank some water and walked around.
Only a few minutes later she started...
