Hey! Looking for tips. Hoping it isn't aspergillus. Baby chick is just over a week old I think, maybe 2?. She presented pretty I'll a few days ago. Tuesday night I thought she had an impacted crop so I gave her some oil and massages it a bit and then gave a bunch of water, then water mixed with a bit of electrolytes, corn syrup and egg yolk. I let her sleep in my bed on a paper towel and woke up a few times to feed her. She seemed perkier in the morning and so we made her her own space away from the other chicks, and went to work/school. Came home and she was the same. So I gave her more yolk, water and corn syrup. Slept with her again, etc.
She seems the same. No worse but not much better. She's better in that she will walk some but she's still breathing heavy and using wings to stabilize occasionally. The kids said she eats on her own, I haven't seen that. She sure poops a lot, mostly firm with a little liquid poop....
Is there anything else I can do for her or just support her until she either dies or gets better?? The kiddo is devastated
