Has anyone with this suspected swollen/prolapsed trachea had their chicken survive or does it keep recurring ? Currently have a chicken presenting like this. She started yesterday with a few sneezes then escalated very quickly
Poor thing. There is actually no cure for this I believe, so nothing you can do. Would be best to euthanize.Here is my poor girl
What happened to this bird?I really think it’s a respiratory infection that got really inflamed and caused this mass to pop out. My chicken has no beak. He lost it when he was about 3 weeks old from a skunk attack. The person that owned him gave him to me a few days ago (he’s now 10 weeks old). The vet checked him out today and gave me meds to hopefully help the infection and swelling and pain. The vet says because he’s still acting like he has a will to live then we are going to give it a shot. It looks “worse” because he has no beak…
It has since gone back in her beak but we have seen it back out when she sneezes. There’s no chance of swelling going down/things going back to normal?Poor thing. There is actually no cure for this I believe, so nothing you can do. Would be best to euthanize.
I'd create a new thread in the ER forum HERE though, you'll get more replies there.
Hmm, not sure. I'd go ahead and create a new thread, you'll get more more help there as this thread is very old.It has since gone back in her beak but we have seen it back out when she sneezes. There’s no chance of swelling going down/things going back to normal?

Here is my poor girl
This appeared after a few hours of her sneezing. She is less than 1 yr old
It has gone back in place?It has since gone back in her beak but we have seen it back out when she sneezes. There’s no chance of swelling going down/things going back to normal?
Incase anyone comes looking at this thread for help, it’s a damaged saliva gland. All the swelling is backed up saliva. It can be fixed. Here’s an article on it:It has gone back in place?
Is there still swelling?
She may have aspirated some food/water. I'd just monitor her and see how it goes.
I'm not sure what you can do to help her.
