My almost 3yr old RIR has beeb gasping for air since yesterday. She was fine in the morning and shows no other signs of respiratory problems. I’m not sure if there’s something stuck in her wind pipe or if she has a respiratory infection. She free ranges during the day with other chickens. No one else is showing any healthy problems.
She’s at an emergency vet now getting oxygen. He’s testing her poop for gape worms but he’s advocating either doing a tracheotomy or putting her down. There’s got to be other options though! Will try to post video in comments
