ChickenPoopGarden Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 I'm off to google it now, but poor Petunia has developed the world noisiest stridor when breathing. I can't tell if it is on inspiration or expiration, and occasionally you can't hear it. She doesn't seem poorly at all and she has no bogeys or runny eyes. She's eating and drinking and running around like a nutter, as ususal. I picked her up and she was pretty miffed about it (She's not a cuddler) but she just fluffed her feathers and walked off after I'd looked her over. So sad! I hope it passes! When I bought the girls, she arrived with a very snotty nose and lots of sneezing. I put it down to travel stress and it never spread to the other girls, but I can't help wondering if it has just been grumbling away and is doing something hideous to her respiratory system now. *sigh* why do you have to get so fond of the blasted birds when they get sick and die so easily?

gavclojak Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 The thing is they don't get ill and die easily to be honest they are hardy little things. It's a blessing and a curse because by the time we realise they are poorly they are usually VERY poorly if it's only been today just see how she goes tomorrow, if she is still like it tomorrow maybe think about a course of antibiotics for her.

ChickenPoopGarden Posted November 27, 2015 Author Share Posted November 27, 2015 Thanks. The Husband is a farm vet, so hopefully he can sort her out for me, if needs be. She does seem so healthy otherwise... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beantree Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Worth checking the coop to make sure the ventilation is sufficient, their is no dust and the bedding isn't damp. Also check the roof for condensation and the formation of mould, something we get when wind facing vents are closed in Winter. We wipe the affected surfaces over with Poultry Shield. Hope Petunia recovers CPG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChickenPoopGarden Posted November 28, 2015 Author Share Posted November 28, 2015 Ok, well, that was quick. Stridor was gone this morning. She sneezed once, but she was as fit as a fiddle. Hope it doesn't return but I cant help wondering if instead of a disease, she has a little piece of straw stuck up her nose? Would explain the non-contagious sneezing she's had since she arrived and perhaps also the stridor if her body is trying to clear the fb and getting mucusy? Would be hard to find out, I suppose...
