Non infectious causes for honky/wheeze in throat, PLEASE HELP IF YOU HAVE ANY IDEA I HAVENT BEEN ABLE TO GET ANY REPLIES

It's been 10 days since your initial thread.
If he's starting to improve a little, I would finish the course of antibiotics if he has any days left.
It's possible something environmental could be causing some of his issues. Ammonia and mold are a couple of things that can cause respiratory symptoms, so check around and see if anything is moldy or mildewed and that housing has very good ventilation.

The coop he was in (he is in isolation now) has good ventilation. It started out of nowhere during the time I was cleaning the deep litter out of the coop. I thought maybe the dust, could have done it.
He has one more day of antibiotics. It was a 7-10 day course and I just went for the ten day because there was still wheezing on day 7.
If he is super sensitive, or has allergies possibly, is there anything I can do to help? And do you think with his symptoms, (or lack of other than the wheeze/honk) he is safe to go back in with everyone once his antibiotics are done?

And thanks for the reply btw
 
Hard to know if he's safe to put back, it really depends on what was causing his symptoms.

Possibly if you were changing over the deep litter in the coop you may have stirred up something that caused the symptoms, but it would have seemed that at least a few other chickens would have had the same response.

If he's able to eat/drink on his own, seems fit to go back, then try it out and see what happens.

He was only on in the coop at the time, because he follows me like a puppy lol. I kept trying to shoe him out but you know how that goes 😂
He is done with his antibiotics. It was the very last day he stopped any wheezing, so I doubt it was the meds that stopped it. As he hadn’t shown any improvement for the previous 9 days of meds.
So as of now he has zero symptoms whatsoever. Thankfully. And I am going to put him back into the coop tomorrow morning. Thanks for your help.
