She is about 6ish years old. She is bloted / swollen very near the vent. Since she is blind she has a hard time know when she is about to reach the water... so she pretty much pecks the water as hard as she can! Yes water definitly gets in her nose but that is the way she drinks. Her feed is pellets not crumble so she doesn't get feed in her nose but i am sure some dust gets up there. Any ideas on brands for antibiotics. Thanks
How long has she been blind?
Any lice or mites on her?
Her face looks a bit crusty and possibly swollen, hard to tell with the lighting of the photos.
Do you put any ointment or vaseline on her face or in her eyes?
Bloating or swelling of the abdomen below the vent between the legs can often indicate reproductive disorders and/or fluid in the abdomen. Sometimes this can cause some respiratory symptoms like difficulty breathing or gurgling. Putting pressure on the abdomen when being picked up can cause some wheezing.
Sometimes a crop will slow as well and symptoms are similar.
For respiratory illness like Mycoplasma, the most frequently used antibiotic to treat symptoms is Tylan/Tylosin.
For other issues, Amoxicillin is commonly used.
It really depends on the cause of her symptoms whether it's respiratory disease or an underlying reproductive problem. Antibiotics may help give some relief for a period of time.
