Just an update. I rubbed him down with Vicks Vapo Rub and gave him another dose of the antibiotic. He has a yellow discharge coming out of his nose so I have been cleaning that away with a qtip every few hours. He is sleeping on the floor of the cage with his head laying on the floor, but he is breathing, is that normal for a sick chicken to be so drowsy? We just passed the 24 hour mark so I hope that is a good sign. A few hours ago he felt so much better that he was standing up tall and looking around and eating and playing around with the female, that lasted about an hour and now he seems to be feeling poorly again. Maybe he is just tired. He has been breathing hard, I hope he is going to be okay...Any ideas?
