Quiet 5 week old chick with constantly dripping butt. No blood

[jmpk2012]

5 week old chick just constantly drips from her rear end. She pastes up, I bathe her and gently remove the build up, and she pastes up again. No blood that I've seen.

The 6 other chicks in the broader have no issue. I no longer use the heat since it's about 80 degrees in the garage consistently. I have clean electrolyte/probiotic water and regular water both available to them 24/7.

She's also not as active as the others. She often hangs out away from the others and seems to "pant". Her little chest rises and falls. I don't notice the others doing that.

Is there anything I can do? Here's a pic of her after her last bath

How is she doing? I had a chick like that but he seems to have grown out of it. His butt is still a little bare.

Unfortunately she passed. Just kept fading. It sounds like yours has turned the corner though. That's really positive!

One thing I've learned since then in case it helps you - Since that chick died, I had another who started to remove herself fron the pack, got quieter, more sleepy. etc, and the breeder recommended dropper of sugar water (4:1 like for hummingbirds) to help perk her up and along with VetRx on the beak and it helped. She's doing great now. I wish I'd known that for this chick.
Best wishes!
