Help! Open mouth breathing, hiccups/sneezing and yellow vent discharge

[FrenchyChicks]

Hello all and thank you in advance for your advices.
our 7 month silkie started breathing with open mouth ( no sound or foul odor) for the last 2 days. she was lethargic yesterday but seems more active today, eventhough she was laying with closed eyes a few times today too.. she has weird hiccups or sneezing ( not sure what it is). sometimes 5 in a row sometimes 5 in 30 min. also she has a yellow nasty discharge or poop coming from her vent. could this be gleet?
Her crop seems fine, her belly feels round but I don't know how it is supposed to feel when normal.
we gave her water with amprolium and Avi-C ( we manually feed her as she will not really drink) it seemed to help.
she took a bath with Epsom Salt this afternoon, but she doesn't like water so she wouldn't stay really in it. here is a pic of her vent right after the bath, and 1h after with yellow discharge appearing again.
This morning she ate some cooked rice and some grain feed, but yesterday she wouln't eat. Her poop was normal consistency but very green.
when we take her outside in the backyard, she regains energy and scratch and peaks at plants and worms.
first video is from this morning, second is from this afternoon.

could she have gleet? or a respiratory problem? are the symptoms related to one same problem? what kind of treatment do you recommend?

Hi @FrenchyChicks Welcome To BYC
Where are you located (state/country)?

Thank you for the photos and video.
Has your Silkie started laying eggs yet?
What do you normally feed her?
You mention the crop seems fine - is it empty in the mornings before she eats/drinks?
How long have you had her?

Look inside her beak - any canker, obstruction or lesions?
It would be a good idea to get a fecal float to rule out worms.

She may have a respiratory illness, have you added any chickens within the last 30days?

Thank you Wyorp Rock.
I am in the San Francisco Bay Area. We got our chickens mid January. No new chicks added since then. We have a flock of 3.
She lays eggs about 1 every 2/3 days. She laid her last one on Friday so one should be coming today probably. I couldn’t feel any yesterday.
I will check the inside of her mouth today with the help of my husband.
Her crop was empty this morning and full last night. I mixed the brown rice with coconut oil for lubrications.
This morning the open mouth breathing seems to be quite gone. She still sneezes and her butt is still dirty with yellow goo.

Just looked inside her mouth. Does everything looks fine? I don’t know what that white thing is on her left corner of the mouth. Just dirt?

That looks like canker, @Wyorp Rock

It could very well be canker as suggested by @puffypoo
Do you see any more of those down inside her throat of the back of her tongue?
Does she have a bad rotten odor - from what I understand canker smells?
If you have vet care, that's always best - they can help figure out the cause of those. Lesions can be from bacterial, fungal, viral and protozoan diseases, so it's hard to know. She may have respiratory illness that causing the lesions or it could be something like canker (Trichomoniasis) which is from a protozoa. Do you have pigeons coming around and drinking/eating out of water/feed stations?
You really need to know what it is, since treatment is different. For example: If it's from bacterial respiratory disease, then an antibiotic like Tylan50 may be effective. If it's canker then Metronidazole would be used for treatment it is an antibiotic, but also has antiparasitic properties.

Canker and respiratory diseases alike make birds carriers and the whole flock is susceptible.

Thank you. I will bring her to the vet tomorrow I guess. I have not been very lucky with vets previously so I feel I just spend a lot of money for them to tell me random stuff and not giving any solution :-(
any idea regarding the yellow poopy goo at her vent? could this be related to canker?

The poop could be related to whatever else she has going on.
