Hi there, I’m hoping for some advice. My 1 year old hen (backyard mutt) had some symptoms pop up in the past ~36 hours. Loud/strange vocalizations (crowing/sneezing/hinking?), congested/raspy breathing sounds especially when eating, and a droopy comb. Today I am seeing her open her beak at times, and overall I think it has been worsening. I have her separated in a dog crate right now, and she’ll be quick and then all of the sudden make very loud sounds that are almost like a rooster crowing.
She just had runny poop. Just now I noticed a bloody spot on her friend’s wing; it is pink-tinged and not frank blood, so my first thought was maybe she shook her head and this came from her nostril/mouth. I have not seen any more of this but am monitoring. She has been eating/drinking/laying/active.
I live in Oregon, weather has been recently mild.
Any suggestions for things to try? I have Poultry Cell, Rooster Booster, VetRx, and Tylan powder, and Corid on hand. I applied VetRx already for supportive care. I was recommended to use Oxine in a humidifier, but it will not arrive until Tuesday.
Thanks in advance! I’m worried about her.
