    Respiratory infection - vet visit & prescription list

    Hiya! I brought a beautiful new bird home: Milkshake, a one year old chocolate Orpington. I believe the stress & heat brought on the illness as I picked her up the hottest day of the year (when it was 42C with the humidex). She has been gurgling when she breathes & sneezing, though her comb...

    Hen breathing strange

    I don't know how to attach the video, so I have linked to a reddit post I made which has the video, I hope that's allowed! I first noticed 2 days ago that my hen had slightly heavy, laboured breathing, you can see it in the way her whole body moves when she breathes, but her mouth is closed...

    Guinea fowl with respiratory issues!

    Hi all! My guinea hen, Nellie, has been having issues for a while. Her breathing is wheezy, and every once and a while she shakes her head and sneezes. If she gets worked up (gets picked up, runs, etc.) then her breathing gets worse to the point where she may sit down and puff up a little to get...

    Chicken Breathing Strangely

    My chicken Carrot has been breathing with her beak open. This has happened for a while and haven't really thought much of it because I thought it was that she was puffed out when I was trying to catch and hold her, considering I primarily used to hear it when holding her. She has been doing it...

    Sudden respiratory distress - please help!

    Hi all - last week I introduced some new girls into our existing flock. I noticed one of the new girls was acting pretty sick - puffed up, lethargic, wouldn’t eat, etc. Separated her and unfortunately she did not make it. Yesterday I noticed 3 of my existing hens acting sick as well. Respiratory...

    She’s 27 weeks old, hasn’t started laying yet. Video attached because I have no idea what she is going through. She’s eating and drinking. She’s pooping. I’m in New Zealand where it’s summer at the moment and gapeworm is rare. Regardless I’ll worm her today anyway but I wondered if anyone has...

    Heavy breathing and swollen abdomen (Video)

    Hi friends, I could use some thoughts if anyone has any. I detail it all down below, but aside from her breathing heavy sometimes and her swollen abdomen, I was doing some of my own research and I do wonder if one of her air sacs could be inflamed, as she has a lump on one side of her underside...

    Denagard, Dosing, Syringe, Feed?

    My bantams need Tiagard, but they are not drinking the water, even with sugar. Two are in bad shape with foamy eyes and sputum. I tried small bits of bread with an undiluted dose appropriate to weight. My question is, has anyone directly dosed with syringe feeding undiluted? Or, as well have...

    hi all! exactly what it says on the tin. my baby Thunder is hopping around on one foot (seems pretty adept at that) and her bad foot is held close to her body, like a flamingo: she isn’t dragging it around behind her. Her foot is fully limp though, like if you were to make your hand limp and...

    Getting Tylan

    I wanted to post some information about getting your hands on Tylan, an important medication for Mycoplasma Gallisepticum. I'm sure someone else has made a thread about this somewhere, and I know a lot of information about this is widely known, but I recently had a lot of trouble getting my...

    Chicken gasping for air, PLEASE HELP

I took her in to the vet where she was put on supplemental oxygen and had an exam and x-rays taken, but nothing was able to be found. She had gas in her crop and stomach, but the vet said it was most likely due to stress...
