Older hen with neurological symptoms

[Mariakoltsa]

mycoplasmosis is whats killing her now, swollen sinuses only apparent now, mucous in mouth and throat constantly swallowing and eventually she will suffocate to death on that if i were to let her. All that ehad shaking she has been doing now i know is due to mucous blocking the airways, but was it always what those head shakes were ? They seemed neurological to me before whereas now the neurological signs are gone. But what caused her to become lethargic and stop eating and start wasting away nearly half a year ago??? … i don’t know. She actually started getting better when i did the vitamin supplementation with syringe feeding, she started eating by herself and then two days later she suddenly stopped and became worse.
She is only alive thanks to a tiny space and steam vaporiser full on eucalyptus inhalant and me feeding her. Im attempting syringe feeding tetracyclines as they are the only ones i have and then later feeding her with liquid avain emergency food. I will attempt this for the whole course of antibiotics because i already started. But i assume its too late.

Hey! Just following up that she hasn’t recovered her eye sight. My other hen never fell to any of the same symptoms. I assume it was either an infection/bacteria/virus only she was susceptible to, a tumor, or a stroke. She continues to struggle with coordination and getting her to eat and drink consistently is a constant struggle. I mix water with pellets daily, offer her mash, and supplement her diet with grubs, yogurt, and watery fruit. She’s still kicking it though and I move her to an enclosed cage so she can get yard time daily. She’s 8 and I’m not sure how long I’ll have her but have resigned to keeping her as comfortable and safe as possible while she lives out her old years.
