Coryza and regurgitating

[Barren Rock Mama]

Hey experts. 3yo hen on Bactrim for Coryza w resp symptoms. Had been doing slightly better after 4 doses but then regurgitated an impressive amount of clear fluid when picked up for dosing this morning. Now, all day, she has had gurgly breathing and not eating/drinking anything. I skipped her dose tonight. She has access to water w electrolytes and some soft food in a crate in the house by herself. What should my game plan be in the morning, if all is stable over night? Really appreciate any help

Welcome To BYC

Is she pooping?
I'd check her crop first thing in the morning, see if it's emptied.

Sounds like her crop was full of water(?) and she may have aspirated some when she regurgitated. Hopefully this will resolve, it's hard to know.

Thank you! Slightly better today...

It can be easy to accidentally squeeze their crops when picking them up, and that may cause aspiration if fluid is coming back up into the throat and airway.

I hope it was my bad and not an issue w her! She still sounds congested but is eating and pooping. Really appreciate the feedback!
