Urgent - Pullet is gasping for air and wheezing

[casportpony]

Yes I do and I’m looking for it and cannot find on Amazon

Tylan 50 and Tylan 200 are back-ordered, so you probably won't find any. See if you can find some Baytril or enrofloxacin.

Nobody else is showing signs of sickness but if they did is that sign of flock being contaminated with some kind of terminal virus? I feel horrible for her

I try not to jump to conclusions like that as the body does fight viruses off using t cells and other immune processes... just different than bacterial infections which can be treated with antibiotics.

I'm just guessing she will be exhausted from just trying to breath. Do you have any probiotics to add to her water for general support? Is she eating or drinking at all... she won't starve... but hopefully she can stay hydrated.

What are you feeding? Do they have grit access? Has she ever been outside yet or are they still indoors? Can you call your local agriculture department and inquire if there have been any specific outbreaks in your area? Maybe connect with someone else on here or through craigslist farm and garden section to get medicine access sooner?? I would offer some B complex just because it won't hurt and it might help boost the immune system without any fear of overuse or resistance.

She’s been living outside and I feed them Flock raiser. I have probiotics and pedialyte which I could give her. I already gave her some pedialyte. How much Bcomplex can I give her? She’s resting peacefully on my chest now

They free range during the day and only sleep in their coop at night. I clean their coop and clean their water bowl every day.

It's possible that she just has a bacterial infection.

It seems I could order both from chewy. Any specific dosage?

If she does how can I treat her?

I think both Tylan and Baytril from Chewy require a prescription.

With an antibiotic.

Yes they do so I’m stuck
