Chicken is gasping for air and sneezing

[Shirkygirl]

We noticed yesterday that our blue laced Wyandotte was gasping for air. When she is gasping there is no sound. she opens her mouth takes a breath and then shuts her mouth. Sometimes she closes her eyes. She isn’t as active as normal. She isn’t making any clucking sounds. She is about 2 years old and we got her as a chick. She has runny poop but is drinking and eating. We have isolated her into her own small coop. We recently lost another chicken unexpectedly last week. We have given her VetRx and added some fresh Oregano and Garlic to her water. She did lay an egg today.

Anything else we can do?

Is her poop off color at all? If it were my hen I would treat for coccidiosis. I would use a corid drench and treat the flock with a maintenance dose in the water.
Corid is not an antibiotic, but you do need to discard the eggs. It's worth it in the long run. Coccidiosis can be deadly.
Stop the oregano and garlic and just give treated water.
Here are the dosing suggestions:

Here is the water treatment from castportpony:
"This is what people usually give

Treatment	20% Powder	9.6% Liquid
For 3-5 days	1.5 teaspoons per gallon	2 teaspoons per gallon
then for 7-14 days	1/3 teaspoon per gallon	1/2 teaspoon per gallon

Oops, sorry, no egg withdrawal with corid, that's done with worming.

Thank you. Here is our update as of this am. Her poop is now normal. She is more active today and her coloring is better. Still mouth breathing and sneezing. Would you still treat with Corid-D?

I would wait and see if she improves further. Glad to hear she's better!
