hen gasping for breath

Rhode Island Red Hen gasping for breath. Had a "cough" yesterday. She is still walking but will not drink or eat. Any suggestions??

Gasping may be a symptom of aspergillosis. Here is a list of common respiratory and other diseases. You might look at these and compare them to your chicken: http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/ps044

Look at the link in post # 2--there are signs and symptoms of respiratory diseases plus the drugs for treatment. She may need an antibiotic.
