I had a pullet come down with cocci and I have been treating her. She has made, what appears to be, a wonderful recovery. I have been giving sulmet/water and probiotics to the rest of the flock that has been in contact with the sick one. This morning, I found a second pullet with the same symptoms as the first one. I brought her in and put her with the recovering one. Sure enough, bloody poo. I started treating her by making a wet mash of powdered starter, acidopholus, and sulmet/water. I used a dropper as I did with the first. Now this pullet is gasping for breath and squawking with each inhalation. I am so worried she somehow aspriated some of the mix. Is this what must have happened? Is there any way to relieve her? She is looking very tired from the effort to breath. ANY help will be appreciated!!
