Hello!
I have a buff orpington who is presenting with drooping wings and tail, fatigue, weakness while walking, loss of appetite and thirst, and occasional panting. She has no egg stuck inside her. She has no mucus or eye discharge. She isn't coughing or sneezing. She doesn't have sour crop. She doesn't have bumblefoot. One strange symptom I noticed is that she makes these different vocalizations than normal if I pick her up, like she's upset or in pain. There is nothing apparently wrong with her physically: no visible injuries, no pasty butt. We have palpated her whole body and have felt nothing off. Her poop is otherwise normal, when she eats (which she only does if the food is soft). She has no mites or lice.
We have given her tylosin, corrid, and fenbendazole, and nothing is working. We have been feeding her bread soaked in electrolytes and probiotics, so she doesn't get dehydrated.
There is no poultry vet near us, and we've had disappointing results in the past with the vet we've had. Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong with her?
Edit: here's a photo of her in her current state. She has always had a floppy comb.
