I have 2 pet Serama hens.
Recently, one has become seriously ill. Here are the symptoms:
Though I have bird flu here, she has been in no contact with wild birds, she's always in a covered run or inside and her sister is absolutely healthy.
I'd appreciate help or advice. This is suspiciously like the pneumonia that my elderly (LF) hen got.... It did not end well.
EDITED TO ADD:
She could be dehydrated. Her skin is darker and wrinkled, her breath is rasping. She really wants water but she'll only drink drops on my finger. I'm so worried and no-one's answering.
EDITED TO ADD:
If anyone has advice on taking 1 or both to the vet for minimum stress, that would really help.

As you can see at the end of the thread, little Sally didn't make it. Thanks all who supported and guided me.
