    Wheezing and difficulty breathing

    This early morning my chook was gasping and trying to get air. I’m thinking it is something in her throat rather than lungs. There is no excess mucus. She seemed a bit panicked, which could have made it worse. I syringed some vitamin berocca water into her as she looks a little dehydrated. She...

    4 Month Old Muscovy Drakes Wheezing

    Hi :) I have two 4 Month old Muscovy Drakes that are making a wheezing sound. I have an adult male and it's not the same chuffing sound he makes at all, it's kind of a cross between that and a squeaky toy. It was only one male I was noticing it in at first but now after two days the other one is...

    Breathing Issues

    Went out to check on the chicken and found my EE had some breathing issues. She was sneezing rather frequently, about every ten or 15 seconds for maybe 3 or 4 minutes. And they were rather hearty if that makes sense. She's finished sneezing and then went to gasping with her neck extended...
