I’ve noticed a few issues with my silkie and I’m having trouble connecting them to figure out what’s wrong. She’s three and half right now.
I noticed several months ago when she breathes I can see it in her neck. It almost looks like her neck is inflating.
She often has her left eye closed and she tilts her head when she looks around. I’m thinking this could have to do with her big silkie head feathers being in her eye, but I’m not sure if it’s something more serious.
When she’s sleeping she slowly bobs her head. It’s not a jerk more like a gentle side to side bob.
Otherwise she’s eating well (maybe too well, she’s a little chunky ). She’s lazy, but not lethargic. She still loves her dust baths. I first noticed these symptoms at least six months ago and I don’t think they’ve gotten worse but I’m worried regardless.
Anyone have any ideas?
