-5 month old plymoth rock hen
-since the beginning of the month she has been making a funny sound that i thought was sneezing. Other then her funny sound she has been fine until Monday she wasn`t walking around the coop just standing in one spot so I went to check on her and she was gasping for breath. I have tried to feel around for her crop but there is nothing there it seems,
I have given her olive oil and massaged her, tried turning her upside down.
i have her separated
-monday night we gave her water soluble antibiotics (so it has been 36 hrs approxc that she has been on them)
-her waddle was very pale on monday night but got some color back yesterday
she is drinking
poop is normal
i also picked up a dewormer that i mix with food.....not sure if i can do antibiotics and dewormer at the same time....
she is still struggling to breathe
I really don`t know what to do....any suggestions
thanks
