So, since my last post about my little rosecomb bantam (geez why does she have so many health issues...)
What happened was that somewhat a week ago now she started choking on a corn kernel(or so I thought) and went into shock for a moment.
And on Saturday she fell from my hands when I went to check on her and she went in shock for a moment.
Now yet again, as I was just eating some food outside and she came to try and nab a bite off my plate(and since it's salty dinner I don't want her to eat it), she jumped on my leg so I gently held her underneath her wings and put her on the ground.
Suddenly she lost her balance and I could see her little legs wiggle, she fell down gently and rolled over on her back, shockingly similar to when we thought she was choking last week. I gently grabbed her and put her on my leg and tried to get her to stand gently and she was softly breathing with her mouth open, only to suddenly go back to normal and pretend like nothing happened again.
At this point honestly I really don't even know what to think and I'm obviously worried as this might now be the third time she went into shock like this and with bird flu still going around actively (at least in my country)
I'm starting to think she might've caught it what with her compromised immunity in the past as well.
My other hens haven't seemed to show any signs of the flu besides an occasional sneeze but I'm not sure quite how long it can take for symptoms to start appearing either.
Right now my rosecomb is inside with me sleeping like she hasn't slept in days on my chest as I'm writing this and I'm just stumped at this point. I'm obviously going to see my vet for assistance in this because this is well above my knowledge, but any advice in the comments would be immensely appreciated.
Also sorry for making my posts so long every time I just don't wanna leave out any details.
