    Chicken Loudly Gasping for Air and Wheezing

    She’s still doing pretty good! She still gasps/wheezes from time to time but she’s doing better. I gave her five doses of Tiagard total, but I’m not positive if that’s what helped her or not. I was doing a lot of things to try to help her feel better so I’m not sure which one did the trick. She...

    Chicken Loudly Gasping for Air and Wheezing

    She is doing MUCH better today. She’s still having some trouble breathing, but she’s been able to eat and drink all throughout the day today. Sorry I should’ve mentioned I have been putting some apple juice in her Tiagard water. She’s been drinking that water today so hopefully the medicine can...

    Chicken Loudly Gasping for Air and Wheezing

    Thank you for the helpful video and diagrams, after watching that video I don’t think it’s a ruptured air sac anymore. I looked under her feathers all over her body and I don’t see anything that looks like trapped air, I think yesterday I may have just felt the air sac filling with air and...

    Chicken Loudly Gasping for Air and Wheezing

    She wasn’t interested in food or water again last night so I don’t think she has gotten any of the Tiagard yet. I watched the video you linked, I think it’s possible she could have a ruptured air sac in the front by her breast bone and crop but I’m not sure. I took a video of her breathing and...

    Chicken Loudly Gasping for Air and Wheezing

    She was able to eat and drink pretty well last night. I gave her SafeGuard again last night and this morning I put Tiagard in her water. I noticed that she can breathe in through her nose, it’s when she’s breathing out that she’s stretching her neck out and wheezing. I thought it was the other...

    Chicken Loudly Gasping for Air and Wheezing

    I haven’t seen any bubbles or foam in either of her eyes. I got some chicks a few weeks ago but they are separated from the older chickens, and I have been changing my clothes and shoes and washing my hands after handling one flock or the other so that I won’t pass any illnesses or anything from...

    Chicken Loudly Gasping for Air and Wheezing

    I dewormed the whole flock in the middle of August with SafeGuard poultry dewormer, and last night I syringed SafeGuard goat dewormer down her throat in case she has gapeworm. After my comment yesterday she was able to eat and drink a small amount (a few pellets and a couple sips of water). Late...

    Chicken Loudly Gasping for Air and Wheezing

    Thank you for the reply. I shined a flashlight down her beak a few times but didn’t see anything that looked abnormal. She’s still struggling to breathe and doesn’t seem to be able to eat or drink, although she looks interested in food and water. I have her in a dog crate in my garage and when I...

    Chicken Loudly Gasping for Air and Wheezing

    I have a one year old hen who is struggling to breathe. She is stretching her neck out and making a wheezing noise as she gasps for air. She is sitting still just trying to breathe, and her comb is slightly purple and flopped over, which isn’t normal for her. I have felt her neck to see if...
