(Feathers are wet in the video above - not discharge)
I have a bantam easter egger just over a year old who started wheezing this morning with occasional neck strain and coughing. I checked her for any visible worms or mites and she is clear. No discharge from the nose, eyes, or mouth. The throat itself looks clear and I didn't detect anything in the windpipe that would be blocking her air.
I'm really lost on what could be causing her so much trouble. She sounds like she is struggling to breathe. She didn't eat or drink much today but did let me syringe feed her some water and some olive oil. It's tough to say when her appetite went, she's been broody for the last 2 weeks before this started. She was free ranging and taking snacks yesterday though.
I isolated her and tried to feed her some egg yolk and oregano with some durastat treated water. I'm getting some VetRX for general respiratory health and some dewormer. Any other suggestions or have you seen this before?
