Could easily have both going on, and that would be a better situation than IL! Here the suspected MG brought bubbly eyes in Hazel, but not much nasal discharge. Thin nasal secretions in others, watery looking. Never a thick mucus. Describe again the mucus? Same on both ends of the chicken?
Initial observations
Respiratory
Visible Symptoms: gasping with beak open
Audible: rattly breathing sounds, and coughing / sneezing. Some watery clear droplets of discharge from nose, eyes appear clear, no discharge.
Feces:
Salmon coloured gelatinous mixed with more solid off white poops.
Smell:
Noted a sweet smell when walking into the feed room.
Temperature:
Felt very hot - lots of heat from her body.
This morning
Gasping almost reduced to zero, a couple of gasping breaths likely from the appearance of me stressing her.
Wheezing seems a bit better, same with coughing.
Poops - didn’t see anything.
Smell - seems lessened this morning.
Temperature:
Doesn’t feel overly hot, seems more normal.
Appears brighter, likely the Tylenol helping there.
Gave sulphatrim and Tylenol, handling her increased her respirations which lead to some gasping. Subsided fast once she was back in her home.
Noted her drinking and pecking around.
The other chick appears ok, will keep an eye on her.
Guarded optimism on my part. Tiny babies can go downhill fast. Which is why I throw everything at them.
