PLEASE HELP ASAP

[Wyorp Rock]

Please help my 4 week old Serama chick is coughing/ sneezing I think she has something stuck in her throat?? She keeps coughing and jumping backwards while cheeping super loud. I opened her beak and couldn't see anything but she can't eat or drink and she is barely moving PLEASE HELP

She is also producing a lot of thick sticky slobber

Ill try and get some water down but she really doesn't want me opening her beak...there's also a lot of bubbly spit coming out the sides of her beak which are making it slippery and hard to get open

She likes to jump at herself in the mirror a lot, is it possible she could have hit it too hard and tweaked her neck?

Same chick that's having trouble pooping?
If you think she jumped at the mirror and hit herself too hard, you may want to block that off or put a sheet or towel over it so she isn't tempted to do that again. Sometimes you have to protect chicks from themselves.

Yes, though that started a few days before - I will try blocking the mirror

Oh dear... I'm feeling her throat under her chin and feeling there's something in a kind of loop under there... Also looking at a chicken anatomy and seeing there isn't anything that looks like that...

It feels like this (where I put the red)

So I put her on the other side of the room then went back and called her over and she still ran, only she was holding her beak open

Probably feeling the tracheal cartilage.

Okay, is it supposed to be like that?

I felt the same spot on her sisters throat and hers is definitely bulging out a lot more than her sisters..

You can kind of see it bulging her neck here
