I have a baby chick that I made a prior post about having spayed legs. Her legs are still odd, but I see improvement, but i have had a new issue for the past couple of days. She’s been panting and has clicky lungs. Her breathing seems to be worse when she’s in her bin and I’m not holding her. She is the only chick I have. I don’t know if getting her a buddy might maybe help with her will when she’s alone? but I don’t want another chick getting lung issues if this is contagious or something. I guess my question is what can I do to help her? I have an air purifier next to her bin and I’ve been putting vet RX on her beak and under her wings, but I don’t know what else to do. Her breathing really concerns me. If anyone has an advice it would be greatly appreciated.

Below is a video of her breathing.
 
She looks hot. What's the temperature in the brooder?

Can you provide a larger space so she can get away from the heat?

i’m not sure what the temperature is. I’ll try to get a thermostat today, but I got her a larger bin and a friend but at this point I don’t think it’s the heat making her gasp. This is a new video I took of her last night.
