    I think you might get better responses if you post this in the "Emergencies" forum.

    Respiratory / Breathing in 1 week old Chicks

    The two chicks are still alive, but slowly going downhill. The small one has a large abdomen and is having trouble walking. Both have fast breathing. I mixed the 10% Baytril solution into their water on Friday. I saw no improvement over the weekend. From what I'm reading, the Baytril should...

    how do u know if an injection went wrong...

    When I gave an improper injection, I knew pretty much within 1 minute. The chick went limp and just wanted to lay there with its head down. It did survive though.

    Improper injection in 1 week old chick

    Yes. I've tried Tylan in his water as well as Tylan injectables down the throat. Neither worked. I ordered some Baytril in case it's E.coli. I'm going to try that next.

    Improper injection in 1 week old chick

    He didn't die, but he still has the same heavy breathing problem and crackling sound in his chest. He eventually started walking around again, but is still slowly deteriorating. The first shot of penicillin doesn't seem to have helped.

    How did you kill your chicken?

    I think lots of people have killed their chickens accidentally. I read a story about how one person slammed their car door on their chicken's head. I saw that another person threw a rock and killed their rooster. Maybe if we share our stories, it will help us all feel better about the...

    Improper injection in 1 week old chick

    I tried to give my chick an injection of penicillin in the right breasts this morning. I don't feel that I went very deep, just under the skin. However when I put him down he was unable to stand, kinda flopped around a bit, and layed his head down, breathing heavily. I also noticed that most of...

    Respiratory / Breathing in 1 week old Chicks

    I noticed another symptom I hadn't heard before. When I hold the chick up to my ear, I hear a crackling noise coming from their chests. The crackling sounds like bubbles popping after you've washed dishes in the sink. Does this new clue help point to any of the specific illnesses? I was thinking...

    Respiratory / Breathing in 1 week old Chicks

    As a last ditch effort, I've ordered some Baytril from here: http://www.allbirdproducts.com/newproductpages/baytril.html If it is E.coli, this should take care of it from what I'm reading. If it doesn't, I throw my hands in the air and take em to the state vet for a necropsy. Hopefully these...

    Respiratory / Breathing in 1 week old Chicks

    About 3 feet. It's a red colored light that you get at TSC. The chicks like to be right underneath it. Any higher and they start crawling all over one another. Any lower and they just move to the opposite side of the brooder. The temp is around 95 deg at the center of the light, around 83 at the...

    Respiratory / Breathing in 1 week old Chicks

    Just wanted to provide an update. Of the original 8 chicks that hatched, 2 are left alive, but they are experiencing symptoms. I've got them on water soluble Tylan antibiotics and am giving a couple drops of Poly-Vi-Sol per day to help them live as long as possible, but I'm sure they'll die like...

    I'm in Virginia, and unfortunately Richmond is several hours away. I'll call the local clinics and see if they can help.

    Respiratory / Breathing in 1 week old Chicks

    I originally thought mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) was the cause, however the Tylan 50 should have taken care of that, right? That's why I've moved on to infectious brochitis (IB).

    As a last ditch effort, I got some poly-vi-sol to put into their water. Maybe the extra vitamins will help them fend off the illness.
