    Neck injury on new chick!!

    I would agree but there were no signs of infection until it died. She seemed to be having trouble breathing. But then again I am more experienced in dogs, cats, and large animals.

    Neck injury on new chick!!

    She was doing great this morning...she ate and seemed normal. My son, who has been doing most of the care, (he wants to be a vet) went to put the other chick back in with her and she was on her side gasping for air. We picked her up and she passed. She was fine an hour ago. I can only think...

    Neck injury on new chick!!

    Great News!!! So I don't know why I didn't think about it earlier but I took our smallest chick and out her in with the injured one. I can see them at all times. Injured chick (now named Whippit) has started drinking on her own and cuddles up to the other.

    Neck injury on new chick!!

    She only ate about 1/2 ml this morning. She had been eatting 2 ml but I'm not sure how much she was actually getting. How much do chicks normally eat? Again we are just doing the electrolyte mixture..it says it has dextrose (does not give a daily value) add a little bit of sugar? She is very...

    Neck injury on new chick!!

    I have given her the antibiotic for 3 days now..should that be it (3 to 7 days is what I read). Should I wait until I see other symptoms and try again. I don't want to mess with the scab but she smells fine. She attacks the water dropper when she does feed.

    Neck injury on new chick!!

    She is doing well (I think). She has been alert and drinking the mixer we made. I unfortunately was only able to obtain a large needle on such short notice so gave the penicillin I had subcutaneously. I am hoping I got it in as she is so small. I was a vet tech many years ago but never...

    Neck injury on new chick!!

    It already seems to be closing. I posted a picture but you can't really see what I saw yesterday. The frothy area I think is just Neosporin where the water came out.

    Neck injury on new chick!!

    We will see about picking up some antibiotics tomorrow...should we not be worried about liquid getting into the chest cavity? Will the yoke not sustain her for a few days so we can let it heal a little. I am not sure any of the water I gave her even made it to her stomach. :(

    Neck injury on new chick!!

    Our cat grabbed our hours old chick. His mouth was caught quickly and we thought that there were just a few scratches on neck and by wing. She seemed fine we cleaned the wound carefully with iodine and applied some antibiotic ointment. The chick got in her food and my son noticed some food on...
