Help! Gasping to breathe and not eating. Someone said maybe canker? Was more yellow with some white. Not sure what to do to help?

Welcome To BYC

Is there a bad odor? If so, then likely it's Canker.
Treatment for Canker is Metronidazole.

Track you and yes a putrid odor! Where do I get Metronidazole? She is walking around when I let her out but not eating or drinking :(
 
You will likely have to order it online unless you have a very good aquatic store near you.
OR if you have a good relationship with your vet, they might write you a script...

Not eating or drinking is not a good sign. You can try syringing or tubing fluids and food into her if you need to. The lesions may be blocking her esophagus as well.

I do suggest that you try to find some Acidified Copper Sulfate as well to treat your flock's water.
