Looking for help identifying what's going on with my silkie.
Symptoms
Treatment so far is isolation, took shavings out of the box/coops for now, VetRX, electrolytes, clearing the nostrils, having her sit in a steamy room for 20 minutes.
EDIT: She seems okay right now, it comes and goes so I'm thinking it's some sort of minor blockage in the nostril. I'll moisturize her nostrils sometimes and hopefully it unclogs on its own. She's acting like nothing is wrong now (no kazoo sounds or mouth breathing.)
Thank you for any help!
Symptoms
- Wheezing and sneezing with constant sound
- Some watery green poop a couple days ago that I assumed was from heat stress, I gave her electrolytes. Poop appears normal and healthy now.
- Mild mouth breathing
- Seems still energetic and active despite issues, still eating
- Tried VetRX which I know doesn't do much but it didn't seem to help open her airways at all
- Brown dusty material in nostrils that comes back when wiped away (maybe mucus?)
- Holding her wings out slightly
- Choanal slit in her mouth is open/clear
- Nostrils are full of brown gunk (mucus/dirt?) that I'm not totally sure how to get out, tried wiping away and moistening it though
