On Saturday my 16 week pullet Daisy, started hobbling around. She seemed well enough except she couldn't walk and the her right side seemed weak. Vet was out on Wednesday and said no broken bones, didn't look sick so maybe soft tissue damage.
I've kept her isolated so she doesn't get run over by the younger chicks I have. Today she isn't breathing well. I had sand in her crate which I think clog her nose. I cleared what I could see with a Qtip. Short while later - she perked up a bit and ate and drank some water. I change her bedding to straw and now just a few hours later, she seems to be having trouble breathing again. I don't feel any obstructions, and I'm at a loss. She had baby aspirin in her water - could that be doing it?
I've brought her in as it's getting pretty hot out and keeping an eye on her. What can I do next? She's a sweet girl and seems to really want to fight on. I just don't want to make her worse and stress her out.
What can do?? I really don't want to loose her!
