2) What is the behavior, exactly. Breathing heavy and had an empty crop (it’s 4pm now) got her to eat wet food and some egg white. Not full but no longer empty

Normal that I can tell
9) What has been the treatment you have administered so far? Doxycycline

I have a video of breathing but don’t know how to upload it
