My rooster sounds very hoarse

I checked on him for the night and noticed him breathing with his mouth open. What do you think it is?

No not hot at all no gurgling sound either. I read an article about gape worms not sure if anyone else has had an experience with treatment or if it might be that?

Thank you the more I'm reading and seeing how he is it seems like gapeworm. The problem is I can't find the Aviverm they recommend to treat it. Any ideas of other treatments or where I can get that specific dewormer?
