Help! Chicken acting off, Breathing heavier then usual, laying down in random places?

I think she's have MG / CRD
Treat her with tylan , tetracycline or Doxycycline. .in water for 7-9 days probiotic course after 10th day ..

What is MG/CRD?
Can I eat her eggs if I'm treating with those meds?

I am giving her some warm VetRX, And Electrolytes mixed in water, with some garlic in yogurt, Apple Cider vinegar and water and Thats it, for now.

Tylan 50 injectable for cattle is the right medicine to use. That is given orally or by injection. Dosage is 0.2 ml per pound given 2-3 times daily for 5 days. Tylan powder for putting in the water is only available by a vet prescription. MG is a chronic respiratory disease. It will never be cured, but symptoms may go away. It can come back on them later if they become stressed, such as during a molt or very cold weather. She and the rest of your flock will become carriers for life. It can be transferred through hatching eggs to baby chicks. Eggs are safe to eat after 1 days’ time once drug is withdrawn.

@Cluckcluck1215 How is she today?

Just curious - She is 2yrs old? How long have you had her, have you added new chickens lately or have you ever had any other chickens with a history of respiratory illness?
