Sulphaquin is used mainly to treat coccidia and may or may not help with wheezing.

is Sulfaquin the same as sulfamethazine, sulmet?

You don't know what the hen has; naturally, if its viral, no antibiotic will help. Sulmet is for Coryza but not recommended for other stuff that's respiratory in nature. And she could remain a carrier if it's one of those type diseases anyway.
