[quail chick]

A neighbour had a Seabright grower which always seemed small but she started to wheeze as if something was stuck in her throat.  She appeared to be gasping for breath and her eye were a little sore, but she had no mucous coming from her or watery discharge.  I went up and gave here an antibiotic which I got from the vet and for a while she seemed to improve, but still did not manage to shake it off and I decided to cull her in case she infected other birds.  Can anyone tell me what she had as he burned the carcase before I had a chance to take it for a post mortem.

Edited as was all in capitals

without seeing the bird then no, but culling may have been the best option if it was mycoplasma.
When did your neighbour last worm his flock and what with? Gasping could be a sign of gapeworm in which case flubenvet would have cured it.
What antibiotic did you give her and for how long? Often one bird will respond to one type whereas another will respond to a different type.

Sounds like the same thing one of my hens had, soon as I saw her I seperated her from the rest, she was gasping, stretching her nexk and gunk in her eyes, I cleaned her eyes out, took her to the vet, he gave her this antibiotic injection, but she died anyway (just threw a fit and died)

I emptied out their hen house, washed it out with jeyes fluid, floor, walls, ceiling, all their feed/water pots, the poo trays, perches, so far I havent had a repeat of it

I dont know how they get it, all my birds have been with us since August, this year 2013
