Respritory illness

Actually, a necropsy is usually a good bargain. It depends on the state. They tend to do testing for things that you don’t realize, and many states give a nice report that explains the findings. Did you check to see if you could drive one in for a necropsy or how much they charge?

You could try to get the metronidazole and treat for canker, but it has to be shipped. Petco and Petsmart sell a product that contains metronidazole called API General Cure. Dosage would be small on a serama. Dosage for a regular 5 pound chicken is 250 mg daily by mouth. Do you have a regular dog/cat vet who could do you a favor and treat him or sell you metronidazole? It is also called Flagyl.

Have you had any other diseases or respiratory infections in your flock which he might have gotten?

Yes, any type of partial blockage could cause a change in voice.

A tsp of powder (make sure that your box says 500 mg per tsp) and add to 10 ml of water. Mix well and give 1/8 ml daily for 5 days.

1 tsp is 4.92892 ml. So, 10ml would be about 2 tsp

@Squishychicken take a picture of the box for us, just to be safe.

That link is it, Tylan 50. I should have specified.

From what I've learned, if you haven't determined the cause of respiratory ,Tylan is the way to go. It will wither help the main problem or prevent concurrent bacterial infection, provided you give a full dose for 5 days. Always do a full course if you choose antibiotics.
