Hello,
My little Seabright is having trouble breathing, and exhales through her mouth. She also has a very swollen breast. Could it be an impacted crop if it is not hard? Her breast is swollen, but it's soft. Would this impair her ability to breathe?
It was very cold here in Minnesota, and the others were picking on her so I put her in the house overnight. Last night I gave her a scrambled egg with olive oil and tried massaging her crop, but it just wasn't a hard mass that I thought would indicate an impaction. She ate the egg last night, then I took away all other food. This morning it seems just as large, and she doesn't have any interest in food this morning.
Your assistance would be greatly appreciated! I don't know what to do for her, and she's such a little sweetie...
Thanks,
Stacie
