Hi all,
I have a one year hen who has been mouth breathing constantly. At first we thought it was heat related but she mouth breaths all day and night and the weather has been in the 70s. Her comb is maybe slightly paler than normal but she has been eating, drinking, sleeping, laying eggs and...
There isn’t a lot of information out there about mycoplasma, or chronic respiratory disease in geese and ducks other than vague descriptions that are often copy pasted from few sources, so I thought I’d post a useful article I found about it...
I have an almost three month old pullet with a runny nose and swollen under eye. It’s only on one side of the face. She sneezes and I believe is uncomfortable breathing from the one side. Other than that her appetite and demeanor don’t seemed to have changed. Are there any medicines or treatment...
I have a chicken that's sneezing quite a bit, plus congested. She had pneumonia this past winter, and I know once they've had respiratory issues, they're forever susceptible. She's separated from rest of the flock and in our basement chicken hospital. I'm administering Tylan, plus putting VetRx...
I have a bird with CRD symptoms and I want to treat the whole flock with Amtyl 500 tabs. Can I treat the whole flock by adding to water? If so how much? or do I have to crop dose every bird individually?
thanks in advance? I’m having a hard time ringing any info on it!
Hey all,
I have three young drakes in this video - the one in question is my Welsh Harlequin. He was making normal drakey noises yesterday but now whenever he “talks” it comes out squeaky like this. Does this sound normal or is this an indication of a respiratory problem? I know there are three...
Hey all, one of my young Orpington hens started having a weird cough today and has been rather lethargic. Her couch sounds like a rubber chicken or that big blue bird from the Pixar short (I can’t post a video) She has no runny nose and has been eating and drinking fine. She also breathes a...
So I have a duck that has had a cough going back over a month ago. I used vet-rx and she eventually seemed to shake it, but the last week or so she developed labored mouth breathing. Taking her to the vet is not an option, and I have been trying things on my own that I hope may have a chance of...
Hello,

1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the...

Okay guys. I have posted on how many different groups over the past few weeks and really have no answers here. My birds have a wheeze in their nose. It sounds exactly like a being a little stuffy and breathing in and out of your nose. There's no discharge or any...
Silkie is having respiratory issues , grumbling when breathing, sneezing , horse voice when she makes sounds and a little bit of discharge in one of her eyes. Please, I Need to know what is the best course of action to help her, currently giving her oregano oil and VETRX plus Oregano Oil.
Is it possible, or has anyone encountered severe eye irritation or respiratory issues due to using DE copiously?
Just wondering if my two new hens are experiencing this, as they are absent of any other symptom other than sneezing occasionally and some eye discharge. They have treated with oxy...
Hello everyone.
I am in desperate need of input on my current situation.
Back story:
Purchased some chickens from another person and quarantined them for about a month away from one of my current flocks. All seemed well, so I moved them into a holding pen that I have set up inside one of my...
I noticed a bit over a week ago that my almost 7 year old Sussex hen (she will be 7 on 3/14) is breathing fast when she sleeps. I've been trying to diagnose the problem and provide treatment but I've had no avail. Read carefully as this isn't the normal "hen has labored breathing" case.
Her...
My 2 year old Rhode Island Red rooster has suddenly fallen incredibly ill. Just four days ago I noticed he was laying beside the coop, a behavior I believed was okay seeing as he would still get up and move, it just seemed as if he was slightly lethargic. Overtime his conditioned worsened, even...
Hello. Is this life threatening? There are a few issues with my rooster.
Beginning with the most urgent, apparently swelling around one eye on one side of his face is a respiratory infection sign. Pictures below. Currently the eye is nearly swollen closed.
I posted elsewhere and only got two...
I've just saved the last 2 survivors of a clutch of 12 hatched last Thursday by a feral young hen. She has pretty much been leading them to slaughter since Thursday so I today I had enough of hearing their screams and the hawks carry them away. It's also WAY too cold for hatchlings to be...
Hey guys, I think I’m in trouble here. One of my chickens a respiratory bacterial infection pretty bad, and some of my others seems to be developing it. What’s the best antibiotic that I can buy? I know Corid is for coccidiosis and it’s for cows, but there’s a dosage for chickens that they can...
Hello!
I've posted yesterday and today about my 8 month old RIR pullet Mahalia, who's having some respiratory issues. We took her to the vet yesterday and she was diagnosed with an oral yeast infection and prescribed 5ml of liquid Nystatin orally 2x a day for a week. About 10 minutes ago when...
