Hey all. I have a 2.5 yr old silkie rooster who decided to stand in a down pour last week. I towel dried him before putting him up in the house, but he presented with respiratory distress, lethargy and lack of appetite for food and water a couple days later.

He was struggling to breath, falling over, and spasming. I assumed we would have to cull him but he calmed down and I was able to dose with Baytril I had on hand. His breathing seems back to normal 48 hrs later but he is incredibly lethargic. Falls asleep when handling him and trying to feed.

Ive been giving syringes of electrolytes in water, continuing baytril and offering scrabble eggs and pellets but he not interested. Ive added garlic to water as well.

I don't see signs of worms or mites. His feathers look good, poop is bright green. Dry in morning, runny after get water in during day (by last night they were brown again but green this am)

I also have VetRx and Corid on hand.

Any suggestions
