[stevebec729]

she has a cough, and weases when she gets excited. what should i do?

 

[featherhead]

Does she shake her head? Are her feathers ruffled up? Are her sinuses swollen?

Listen to her chest if you can, if it is wheezing in the lungs it is a respiratory infection. What type of bedding do you use? Is she kept in a pen or free ranged?What other types of fowl is she in with/around. How old is she? Any change in her eyes or any running of the nose? You can go to the UPA website and they have lots of info and suggested meds if it is respiratory. Most often Tylan is used.
