Hi, Can anyone help? I have a young sebright, not started laying yet. A few days ago a rat got into the roosting shed and nested under the trays. In the morning she was doing this weird gasping thing of taking long breaths. It appeared to me to be some sort of stress behaviour. I put her in a box with a heat pad and she's been sleeping there every night, I've had her round the house periodically in the day, she's very tame and then put her back in the box so she had breaks out of there. But she's got worse, yesterday one leg wasn't coordinating with the body, it crosses over, sticks out at odd angles and she can't stand very well. She is eating and drinking. The other birds are all fine.
To be honest I think she's dying. I thought I was good at treating stress in my birds but the usual things like sugar water, banana, turmeric and coconut oil haven't worked. Been giving rescue remedy. It's a long shot but has anyone seen this before or knows what to do?
