We have Wyandotte chicks that have been passing around a respiratory bug. They are about 6 weeks old. All of them have recovered with Tylan except one. She's been on antibiotics for a week and is still no better. They're also getting vetRx in their water. She is eating and drinking and acts fine while she's up and moving. When she lays down she is gasping for air and sneezing a lot. Any suggestions of what more I can do for her would be awesome. This is the first time we've had sick chicks and I'm very nervous.
 
Are they inside or outside? do they have a source of warmth? Has the temperature outside been wonky lately (being HOT one day and the next day very cold)? Are you clearing her nose off?

They are still inside and have a heat lamp
 
Oh and her nose is not runny and does not look clogged up.
