Hi
I have a 1.5 year old bantam rooster in Florida who is breathing with his mouth open. He has been sick for about a month. I took him to the vet two weeks ago and they did a fecal float and found out he had coccidia and worms. The vet gave him Panacur liquid and I treated him and the rest of the flock with Corrid and then Safeguard when I got home. They said his heart and lungs sounded great. He isn't moving around a lot but eats everything I bring him. His comb and face is pale and his legs seem weak. He fell over yesterday and couldn't get up on his own.

- What is the behavior, exactly – Heavy open mouth breathing all of a sudden started like 15 min ago... now less heavy but like short inhales with mouth open.
- What has the bird been eating and drinking, if at all. He has been eating his regular food along with some eggs raw tomatoes and watermelon.
- How does the poop look? Normal? Bloody? Runny? etc. His poop is very runny, greenish with a little bit of white.
- What has been the treatment you have administered so far? Poultry Cell and B12+Vit K
- What is your intent as far as treatment? I want to keep him stable until his vet appointment on Tuesday (they are closed for the holiday)
- Describe the housing/bedding in use – he is living in my bathroom with a area to walk around and a hard shell crate with a nesting pad
- The rest of the flock seems fine.
