Wheezing chicken & no vet till mon.

[cul8er]

The only vet around for miles & miles won't be back till Monday. What, if ne thing can I do. I have isolated her from the other 3 & she is eating & drinking. There must be something I can do. Should I bring her inside (as it will rain all 2morrow?) Does ne one have some good home remedies? Thank you for any help

How old is she? Is wheezing the only symptom? How long has it been going on?

It never hurts to isolate a sick bird and keep it warm and dry. You can add some vitamins/electrolites to its water for a little boost - feed it some scrambled egg (great source of vitamins and protein) and keep an eye on her for other symptoms.

Where do i get electrolites? Like put some gatoraid in the water dish?

You can buy a vitamin/electrolyte soluable mix at any feed store. Add a tiny bit to their water.
