Constipated chick

My chick that was having the poop problem has been fine since I did the suction on her. That was 2 weeks ago. She was the only one that had a little pasty butt to begin with. I tried yogurt, the chick electrolytes, olive oil, warm butt bath, none of it helped her poop. She just kept struggling. I research chick enema and found out how to do it. It was really my last resort . I knew if she didn't poop soon she'd die. If nothing else is working I would give it a try.
 
It didn't have anything external blocking poop so maybe an enima will help. Poor thing is so bloated
 
That was the same problem my prissy had. It was really hard finding information because I KNEW it wasn't pasty butt. She had that on day 5. I knew it was internal this time around. I hope it works for you and your chick gets better.
 
Glad I found this post. Very helpful and I know what I am doing tomorrow

Indeed I do, a plastic syringe. And actually, I"m going to try to flush the vent first with warm water....sort of an enema approach.
I actually just had to squeeze my chicks rear end because it was protruding and enlarged, and it was really soft and I could tell that it was all poop. I squeezed ALOT out, and I did it under warm water.. she’s back under the light drying and cheeping away so fingers crossed that she’s unblocked and makes it!
