Hi, I have a sick Polish hen. She has been coughing, wheezing and hiccuping for a while now. I took her to vet about a week ago and he thought it was a respiratory infection. We started her on Baytril liquid, 1cc a day. She hasn't gotten better, actually she's gotten worse. I brought her in the house in a dog crate 3 nights ago with a heating pad under it to try to make her more comfortable, the nights here have been pretty cold.
I read online that it could be a fungal infection instead of bacterial and that I should fog her with Oxine to kill it. I received the Oxine today and put her in the bathroom with a humidifier. I put 6.5oz of Oxine to 1 gallon of water. It's been running for about 15 minutes and I heard a loud squawk. I went in and the whole bathroom was full of mist.
My questions are these:
1) Did I use the right amount?
2) How long should I leave the humidifier running?
