Wheezing and Sneezing Hen

Post by Jenny d » Mon Apr 06, 2020 10:45 am

Hello All,
I'm hoping for some advice. One of my favourite easter egger hens has been wheezing and sneezing the last couple of days.
No other birds in my flock have symptoms presently.
I used to be able to take my birds to a local vet, but they aren't allowed to have poultry on site anymore.
I have her separated, she is otherwise normal, eating, drinking, free ranging, begging for treats.
Is there anything I can give her that would help?

You can get it from Amazon. Does she seem like she had a 'cold' ? What does her chest sound like, clear or congested ? She may have an upper respiratory infection. Typically, I treat with Denagard. That's a little more tricky to get, https://www.twincitypoultrysupplies.com/ will ship to Canada. You can't just run across the border any more. Good to keep her separated from the rest of the flock. Probably, infected by migrating birds. Good luck with her.
