7 yr Sussex hen breathes fast as she sleeps

UPDATE

I'm not expecting a reply, just posting an update if anyone's wondering. Her bloat has increased some. Also, last night she finally sneezed something out, but it was just a clear, thin mucus. This could be from dust perhaps, as it's been too long since I've dusted the coop. That night I had disturbed her quite a bit and so she had a bit of a harder time breathing, kind of like a wheeziness. But I think that's gone away now. Oh, the crackles I saw earlier have been gone for over a week now. I've given her VetRX under the wings most nights to help her to breathe.

UPDATE

I think I figured out where her bloat comes from. It turns out it was just from her preparing to lay some eggs. She's laid a few now and her bloat has totally subsided. She also isn't sneezing as much either, though she still breathes fast at night sometimes and turns blue in the comb if held for a while.

Thanks for the help y'all. I'll keep the thread updated in case anyone wants to look.
