Royal Palm Turkey is sick -lethargic, sitting down slightly wheezing

[blasttribe]

Norco, CA. We sent some goat blood work to US Davis recently to determine if she was healthy since she was rescued from a local community shelter. Should I send my turkey's poo samples there? Is that the reason for your inquiry? I really appreciate everyone's help.

I was thinking if you were close enough to one of the labs that you could drive there and pick up a respiratory disease kit.

Great idea, thank you. In Norco, it's very horse and livestock oriented but I'm not that familiar with avian vets. We did have our regular vet do a float test of a previous sick chicken and she ended up being fine, not pests or parasites. So maybe I'll do that again. Thank you!

Ask to speak to the head avian pathologist and ask about get the swab kit to do an avian respiratory panel test.

Wow, thanks, I'll do that right now. Have a great day.

Maybe some respiratory illness. I would separate her from the flock to prevent others from getting sick. Provide her with clean water (with a couple drops of apple cider vinegar), and food.
