I have posted up a few times and talked to a few fellow members about what to do with one of my bantam hens, She has been sick for about 2 weeks, she has what seems like to me a respiratory infection. She has been on duramyin for about 2 weeks now, I feel like I have tried anything and am not getting results:
-She is less than a year old
-Has no mites, lice or anything ( I have been checking)
-We did the gape worm test twice, the second time a little something came back up but just looked like feed (It was not red at all like gapeworm)
-She has been inside where its warm for about 2 weeks, I change her bedding all of the time
-When we first found her sick, she was stretching her neck and wheezing, now its just the wheezing and sneezing that she has
-She is still very altert, playful, LOVES to eat, I dont see her drinking much but that doesnt say much since she is so small, she is even going outside and dust bathing
-And now when I pick her up it feels like when she breaths there is almost a pop, almost like she has bronchitis or something within the same lines
-We also purchased a vaporizor and I turn it on at night for her
I need help about what to do next, I have been told to get tylan, with that do I get the soluble tylan offline? Or do I get the injections for cattle in the feed stores?
-What should I be feeding her? She still gets feed, she gets lettuce every night and blueberries < Her favorite!
-Her poop is normal, besides sometimes being dark from too many blueberries
I think I have listed everything under the sun, does anyone have any imput? I hate to keep away from the flock, we just built a new coop and i would love to have her into it with the rest of the girls!
Here is a photo I took of her yesterday:
