Hi, I have this 7 year old hen that sometimes makes a bubbling noise as she intakes a breath, runny nose, foamy/extra siliva, slight darking at the points of her comb, a swollen lump centered in the upper throat area just below the jaw, weight loss, and a putrid, rotten smelling breath.

Her vent is clean, no swelling near or bellow that area, and her crop is squishy but definitely not bloated. It's not contagious either as far as I know.

Generally, she's still herself and lively but noticeably less so than before. Taking her to the vet isn't really an option unfortunately :(

I've yet to find any concrete answers online.

I'm curious as to what she may have specifically and if there's anything I could do for her.

Thanks!
