Hello all,
I posted last week with a sick 5/6 week old chick. She passed away the next night. When I got her, I also brought home one of her siblings. She was also sneezing but mostly energetic and is eating/drinking/foraging around her hutch. She sounds more congested though as the days have gone by she’s still energetic and eating/drinking but she’s sneezing a good bit and just sounds so congested and has rapid shallow breathing, it breaks my heart. At this point, I’m assuming what the other one had + the heat here in Texas, is affecting this baby too. She’s shaded in a rabbit hutch with good airflow but I do not want her to suffer. I’ve been putting vetrx on her chest/below her wings, giving electrolytes with her water and a drop or two of nutridrench. Is there anything else I can do for her? The heat streak should be breaking tomorrow but from looking at old forums, it looks like I may be losing this one too. Any advice would be appreciated!
