Please Help, hen with swollen eye and rattled breathing PICS

[Doc McCluckins]

Update from last night, she is practically as good as new. I am going to dose her once more tonight and keep her quarantined until I learn more about what this is. The respiratory panel with zoologix was $95 which is a little out of my budget but I am going to contact my vet and see if they have more options for me. I am just happy she is on the mend. This chicken is why I am a crazy chicken lady.

Where are you located? A lot of time state labs are much cheaper, but it depends on where you live.

Looks like your lab is located in Nashville.
This is the phone number on the website - they can tell you what testing they do along with how much the fees are - Laboratory Director is Dr. Bruce G. McLaughlin, DVM, MVSc who may be reached at (615) 837-5125. https://www.tn.gov/agriculture/article/ag-businesses-diagnostic-lab

Hope that helps.

It looks like the TN lab does not charge for livestock testing. I have reached out to the office and am awaiting a response. I hope to get the whole flock tested to make sure we are in the clear.

Hey that's great! Some states have little to no testing fees for residents. Hopefully you will get a response and get some testing done to find out what's going on.
Keep us posted.
