1) What type of bird , age and weight. EE/normal weight/7 months
2) What is the behavior, exactly. She's wheezing and making strange noises. I think I hear fluid in her when she is wheezing
3) Is there any bleeding, injury, broken bones or other sign of trauma.no
4) What happened, if anything that you know of, that may have caused the situation. I know she is the bottom of the pecking order and gets pushed around a little, but I don't see how this is related. I have separated her and she is still breathing strange and making wheezing noises.
5) What has the bird been eating and drinking, if at all. I just let her out this morning, but yesterday she seemed normal
6) How does the poop look? Normal? Bloody? Runny? etc. Haven't seen, but will watch to see.
7) What has been the treatment you have administered so far? Nothing yet, just water and poly-vi-sol
8 ) What is your intent as far as treatment? For example, do you want to treat completely yourself, or do you need help in stabilizing the bird til you can get to a vet? I would prefer treating myself.
9) If you have a picture of the wound or condition, please post it. It may help.
10) Describe the housing/bedding in use Bedding is straw and she is in a coop at night and free ranges all day long. I feed her layer pellets mixed with a flock raiser crumble that has an average of 18% protein. They have fresh water twice daily as well as unlimited food supply. The coop is 9X8 for ten chickens that just roost in it.
