Silkie blowing bubbles out nose

Can you listen for any congestion in his throat or chest? Keep the nostrils cleaned so the mucus does not clogg them. It sounds like there is some sort of respiratory disease going on, possibly a virus or it could be mild mycoplasma. Make sure the silkie is drinking plenty of fluids, and eating enough. Some like wet feed made runny, but change it daily so it doesn’t mold. Is he lethargic? Posting a picture of him can be helpful. Antibiotics such as tylosin, tiamulin, or a tetracycline drug may be available from a vet if he gets worse.
