Gatorade. Yogurt, oatmeal. No fan. As ling as your house isn't above 80 degrees farenheit, I'm thinking yea good.

Electrolyte solution, if you have any sports drinks on hand that's what gatorade is. I honestly don't know what to tell you. Do the test for gape and then if its negative treat for a respiratory infection with a broad spectrum antibiotic and hope that helps but if its poisoning then you may not be able to help him.

I'm a massage therapist and I have lots of silly animals and kids.observe and report is my motto. Take a deep breath and do the best you can, its all you can do. If he makes it through the night in this order do the test decide results and treat. If it is gape treat the whole flock. If you decide to treat for illness then treat him, sanitize the entire living area for them and then watch very closely for signal of flock infection. If you decide to let it go as poisoning then take measures to prevent it again. Good luck, get some sleep.

hes made it through,seems alittle perkier this morning,but its still making the noise,and slightly wheezing inbetween,x

 

[nickie]

What's your treatment plan?

were at the vets tom,got to ring back first thing.they said even tho hes not eating or drinking,the factthat his eyes and nose arent runny,and that he isnt gasping for breathe depsite sounding like he does he doesnt think its an emergency case.not to be seen today anyway,but if his breathing does become desperate then ring them back,theres a vid on the other post ive put on ov how he was breathing earlier,x

 

[nickie]

Please keep me posted, I'm rooting for him.
