gasping for air

I have an eight and a half month old Buff Orpington (her name is Leeli) that is egg bound. She is panting and can barely stay awake. She can't stand up and doesn't have any balance. She is exhausted. I brought her inside and she passed some egg yolk. That confirmed my fears. We soaked her in...

Good evening everybody, An important preface: We have reached out to almost every veterinarian in our state (we live in the US). Almost all of them are either completely booked or have stopped seeing poultry altogether. We were able to get an unofficial diagnosis from an acquaintance who is a...

I noticed that one of four from our last batch of new chicks was laying down more than her mates in the outside brooder box (in a shed) Then realized she was much much smaller. I put the bigger 3 in the outside pen with the other bigger chicks. The chick seemed to be struggling to breathe or...

My baby turkey 3-4 weeks old has been recently gasping, sneezing, and acting very lethargic. He’s a royal palm turkey, and his stool is white. Any recommendations on what to do? He doesn’t seem to be eating at all, and I had to give him food by mouth and he was able to get his energy back. I...

Howdy, y’all. This is a little long, but bear with me because I need insight. Some background: I have a hen that had severe round worms and nearly died. She had stopped eating because she became so weak so my vet taught me how to tune feed her until she is strong enough to eat on her own...

Hi all! Over the years we have kept a small, tidy little coop of 6-10 hens. We currently have 6 hens, ranging from 2 to 3 years old. They have a warm and clean house, spacious run, and plenty of fresh herbs, veggies, grubs, layer food, calcium source, grit, and fresh ACV water every single...

Hi! These last 2 weeks, my hen has been losing feathers and itching all over, specifically her neck, and has been eating/drinking less and less. At first, I thought she was going through a slow molt with all the itching and feathers she was losing, but many are the fluffy down feathers. She's...

I have 6 seemingly healthy 2 day old chicks that I left alone today to go run errands. I come back 2 hours later and one is in facing the corner, laying down with eyes closed, seeming to gasp for air or choking with her head up. I thought maybe she was cold bc it was an unlit part of the...

I have five Silkie chicks in a brooder. The bedding is pine shavings and they have a heat plate with easy access to food and water. I was outside doing chicken chores and came inside to one of the chicks lying down beside the heat plate panting. The other chicks are fine and moving around. I...

Help! My free-range hen, Little Pea, who is 7 years old, and has never been sick in her life, is breathing very laboured and 'wet' this morning, is hardly moving around and has just started vomiting a clear, yellow bile, which smells very acidic. She's vomited quite a lot and her breathing...

Please help I think somethings wrong with my rooster. I have a 4 months old buff laced rooster. He opens his mouth before crowing and it sounds like he’s gasping for air or having trouble crowing. And when I hold him he also opens his mouth and gasps for air. I’m not sure if this is normal or if...

The videos are uploading to YouTube at the moment, so i will post them in the comments in a bit. She sounds raspy and hoarse and like shes gasping for air. Her crop is empty all but a quarter...

My year old silkie Pepper has sour crop for the 3rd time. Today is day 4 but only 18hrs on Nilstat. This morning she aspirated some of the sour liquid that she purged as I picked her up. She's gasping and occasionally coughing/sneezing. I know how bad aspiration can be but is there any hope...

My 6+ year old Rooster survived a fox attack this morning. He has been in shock all day and is still gasping for breathe quite a bit. We've put him in a box under a heat lamp in a quiet, dark room to help with the shock. We've also given him a bit of water a few times as well. Many tail...
