Chicken with breathing problem

[twocayugas]

This morning she was sneezing really hard and toppling over after each sneeze so I grabbed her put some vet RX on her and shoved half a clove of garlic down her throat let's see how she manages

Hey, do you have an update for your girl? Mine is still in the same condition, mostly beak-open and raspy at night time.

^ not who you were asking but we eventually treated our flock with antibiotics but initially used garlic in the water and that seemed to help them not feel as badly for a few days until we could get antibiotics.

Thx for asking...and she also gets worse at night with sneezing attacks I control with garlic.
These two seem to be going through the same issue.

Sneezing can be a sign of infectious bronchitis which can run through the flock over weeks or months.

Do you put the garlic in her water? Or how do you administer it? Yeah we have the same situation, unfortunately.

How much garlic? And like fresh, crushed, or whatever? Thanks in advance.

I just chopped up a couple cloves. Maybe 2-3 cloves per gallon? I left the chunks floating in it and then would toss it after about twelve hours and redo.

If it is infectious bronchitis virus, it has to run it’s course over several weeks. It can cause some wrinkled egg shells and other shell problems.
