It appears to be the beginning of a respiratory infection. Catch her and look in her mouth for mucus. While you have her caught, check for gape worms with a Q-Tip by inserting the swab into the airway as far as you can and press up and twist as you pull it out. If you have gape worms there will be little red threads on the swab. Give her 1.5ml of Tylan 200 SQ for five days.
