Pekin bantam hen can’t swallow and froth in mouth

[staceyj]

Thankyou for all your advice. I saw vet this morning. She had infectious laryngo tracheitis ILT. He gave her a shot of antibiotics and she went into cardiac arrest. Sad story though if anyone else has a chook who starts choking on food from time to time that’s how it started. Doxycycline pills if you know early enough or injections if chicken can’t swallow. It was sad she was so hungry but food couldn’t go down. I will miss her she was adorable. My daughter would put her in bike basket and ride around with her.

Oh my goodness, what a sad day. I’m sorry.

Thank you also for sharing a deeply moving personal memory of the beauty of seeing your child experiencing the purest joy of life with a pet.
I love the image of your daughter riding her in her bike basket.
I do hope you will carry that joyful sight in your heart as long as you live.
My sincerest condolences to your you and your family.
