My three-year old Rachel has always laid extra-extra large eggs. This season after molt, she laid a few fart eggs and quit.

Now, three months later, she is very sick, red face, fluid periodically coming out of her mouth. She began to be lethargic a week ago.

No appetite, won't drink. Her eyes are clear, no discharge from any where. I've just given her a second dose of amoxycilin. Yesterday, I dosed her with olive oil in both ends. All she wants to do is stand motionless with her eyes half closed.

I'm afraid she isn't going to get better. Am I right in this diagnosis?
