Me again.

[divineangel94]

Hen that’s been sneezing, and breathing heavy. She was eating until this morning. Now she won’t eat even mealworms. She is drinking normal, flew out of my arms and ran from a rooster. She has a weird sound when she breaths in. Almost sounds like a raspy whisper. She is six and crown, wattles, and keel all have indicated that she is in henopause. Her crown and wattles are normal in color unless she stands too long then it lightens a bit. She has an empty crop. No swollen abdomen. No sign of gapeworm. She acts like she wants to eat but decides against it. No leaks coming from her vent. But some mucus came from her mouth but she swallowed it. Any ideas? I’m getting really worried. I’ll attach a picture of her recent poop. Please help!!!!

With "henopause" can come crop issues. Have you checked her crop? Do it in the morning before she eats.

Already done. It was emptied and still is empty.

Then I would treat for a bacterial infection with an antibiotic. What do you have on hand?

I have extra tylosin because I thought the same but it’s been five days of me giving that to her but she’s getting worse.

Amoxicillin would be better. Tylosin is more appropriate for respiratory infections. Ask for aqua -mox or fish mox at pet stores or feed stores. The dose is 250mg per day for ten days. Or order it here. https://www.valleyvet.com/ct_detail.html?pgguid=E68FC9E3-30C2-402A-88C4-567BDED2C139
