    Emergency! Chick Gasping!

    I have a young two week old chick who is gasping constantly with the occasional sneeze. I think the sneezing might be due to the oil I gave her thinking that maybe something was stuck in her throat. I'm not sure what else to do for her. It won't let me post the video.

    Chick gasping for air and is only half conscious

    Does anyone know what's wrong with her? She's so lethargic and I don't think she's getting enough oxygen. Her chirps are scratchy and shrill when she does get knocked out of her gasping, dizzy state, usually only ever because she got scared or excited.
