I've read up on some of the threads and am still not sure how to treat my Wyandotte.
Age - about 16 months old
Weighs about 5 lbs
Symptoms: Several days ago she started making a whimpering noise with her breathing, now is having very labored breathing with a rasping/gasping sound
Treatment - Administered Durvet vitamins and electrolytes according to instructions, applied vaporub to beak by nostrils and throat
Rest of flock - no symptoms
Sick bird is quarantined from others in separate coop with straw for bedding.
Intend to treat bird myself
Unaware of anything that caused this
Poop look yellowish around vent
I've just gone and gotten some tetracycline and put it in her water with the electrolyte/vitamin solution.
Any help appreciated,
