Respiratory distress!

[Susuba]

Help please! I picked up 7 chickens this past weekend. 1 of them im pretty sure had gapeworm, so i had her seperate from the other 6 and treated her with safeguard. She still sounds hoarse but is doing better. Two other ones tonight started sneezing and wheezing and one I dont think is going to make it! She just sounds awful and keeps violently sneezing! I tried to clear her nostrils but the membranes are really swollen so there was nothing to pick out. I dosed her with vetrx in both nostrils and the roof of her mouth, and i have her sitting in a tote with a blanket cover doing steam treatments with water, vetrx and eucalyptus. Her comb is a mix of red and spots of blue so im afraid shes becoming hypoxic. I looked down her throat with my ear otoscope and i dont see any worms, but the opening of her trachea is very swollen too. I dosed her with safeguard tonight just incase
The other ones symptoms calmed down after i did the same.
2 came from 1 person, 1 from 1 person and 4 from another and 1 from each person is sick!
Is there anything else i can do?
1st 2 pics are from the really sick one (opal) and the last 2 are from the one that is feeling better (legbar)

Gapeworm is rare. Respiratory diseases are much more common. You cannot see gapeworms unless you look at dropping eggs under a microscope, or dissect the trachea during a necropsy. Sneezing, wheezing, mucus in the airways are signs of a respiratory disease such as infectious bronchitis or MG. Have you seen any bubbles in an eye or eyelid swelling? The move may have brought on symptoms. Getting birds from other people who may or may not know they have a chronic disease and carriers in their flock, is how most bring in a disease that can affect their flock for life. You can easily treat for gapeworm and other worms with SafeGuard liquid goat wormer or the horse paste 1/4 ml per pound of weight given for 5 consecutive days. If you lose one of the birds I would have your state vet do a necropsy and testing for the handful of common respiratory diseases. Tylosin or Denagard can treat symptoms of MG . Survivors remain carriers. Infectious bronchitis has to run its course over a month or so. If these are your first chickens, I would return them and not ask for my money back. Then get some baby chicks from a reputable hatchery and start over after disinfecting your equipment and housing.

Thanks. So they arent my first chickens but i kept them inside away from my flock. Odd thing is now i had to bring 2 of my flock inside for the same synptoms. Is there a virus going around with chickens? Not bird flu, but like how we get colds seasonally? Weve had chickens since december of last year, but this is my first fall.
I ended up diluting some albuterol nebulizer meds and giving them treatments. Theyre doing much better.
Its so wierd! They havent been near each other and im the only one handling the new ones and no shared equipment, bowls, food anything.
No bubble in the eyes or discharge in any of them.
What is MG?
