My flock has been dealing with sneezing so i have been treating them with denegard. One of my bantam wyandottes is not sneezing and there is no noise when she breathes like the others but she is lethargic and wobbly on her feet. She was keeping to herself and was fluffed up. I seperated her and gave her a shot of LA 200. Her poop is a watery pale green. Is there anything else i should do?
 
Wobbly with green poop is likely from not eating. Check her crop for possible issues. If it is flat and empty I would get her to eat something--pellet mash, eggs, tuna, etc. Nutri-drench water might also help perk her up. Hard to know what might be the cause so I'd focus on keeping her hydrated and fed so she can hopefully get over it.

Please post photos of your birds, their housing and poop.

How much ventilation in your coop?
Have you added new bedding to your coop?
Any food get moldy?
How old are they?
Have you added new birds recently?

You've been treating with Denagard, has that helped in the past or is this the first time you've had to treat your birds? Denagard will treat Mycoplasma in poultry, if you are dealing with a virus it will not help.
LA 200 may help with MG or some other bacterial infection. Do you notice mucous, facial swelling or other symptoms?

Work on hydration, look inside her beak for any lesions or canker, see that her crop is emptying and offer her a bit of feed. Hard to know what's going on. Sneezing alone may be a virus, but some birds are weaker than others so they have a harder time overcoming certain illnesses and conditions.

I have her by herself in a dog kennel now. Yes denegard has worked before but she is not sneezing. She is still fluffed up and wings are now droopy. Her comb is pale. Ive been giving her nutridrenvh and it doesnt seem to be working. Her crop feels normal. I have seen her eat and drink. I domt see any parasites on her. Her poop looks a little greener.
 
Can you take some samples of poop to your vet for a fecal float to rule out worms and coccidiosis?

Sounds like she's not doing well. I'd work on getting her hydrated, offer some wet soupy feed, bits of egg, etc. to see if you can get her eating/drinking.
 
I couldnt find a vet near us that would treat chickens. I started her on corrid since her poop was green and she was lighter but was still eating and drinking. She seemed to perk up started getting color in her comb and her droppings turned to brown. Then yesterday she took a turn. I have not seen any worms in her droppings but im considering treating because at this point im not sure what to do/what it could be. I am giving her sugar water and egg yolk,
