Hi! So in terms of overall health and activity level she is the same. She comes out of her pen full speed when I get home I sit down she's flies right to my shoulder, if I give the dogs treats she's right in there thinking she's gonna get some too. Here is a picture of her a couple days ago her wattles and comb are starting to turn red, she's becoming a lady lol. Her poops are great looking! She still stinks and her breathing is still wheezy especially at night (breathing looks a little laboured at night). I agree I would like to give her the full 14 days of Doxy. Should I try to get my hands on the sulpha drug above to give her with the doxy? Would I get that from a vet?
Thanks so much for the ongoing support!

She is just too cute!!
I would consult the vet about adding a sulfa drug to the Doxy.
You may also want to ask him if he will take a throat swap to culture it to see if there is yeast/fungal infection that is causing the smell.

Thanks @Wyorp Rock She is quite the character too! OK I will work on that! Have you ever had any experience with a yeast/fungal infection causing laboured wheezy breathing, and a little clear discharge from the nose?

Sorry for not replying sooner! Its been busy with the holidays ! Merry Christmas and Happy new year! So Dolly is doing great, I think it was about 7/8 days on the doxy and I started to realize that the smell wasn't as bad. And by the end of the 2 weeks it was completely gone and she's been doing awesome since! Her breathing is still loud at night time so I'm not sure if thats just her or what. But I'm very happy that she is doing so well thanks everyone so much for the support! I do have one more question So I have three chickens in total Dolly who is full time inside, and my big orp ladies who live in a chicken palace outside! come spring when its warm enough for dolly to go outside and forage etc. should I be worried about whatever it is she had? My orp ladies haven't gotten any weird symptoms as of yet just want to be safe?

So glad to hear she is doing well!

She's just as adorable as ever Your Orp ladies are beautiful!!

A lot depends on what this little girl was sick from if she would be contagious or not. If it was respiratory illness, then she would be a carrier.
