4 week old chick cant lift head

[chickenstar]

Yes the picture is a very sad one indeed! It not fare to let this animal suffer like this that's why I said they should try the tylan they don't look like they can take this anymore and maybe it whould save them,because they didint indicate they wanted to go much further with this.

I agree I mean I'm guilty of spending over 2 thousand dollars on my hen,some people might think that crazy but I'm not rich I just sacrificed for a long time in order to save her and that was my personal choice,and it dosent make me any better then anyone else,but when people just watch there animals go down hill come hear and ask for advice and then don't take it cause they don't want to spend any money well that's just out of my control I'm just trying to do something within there means that's all.

Kind of reminds me of Vitamin E deficiency.

It's your money to spend any way you see fit. However, there are knowledgeable folk here that would be happy to help you save your birds, the easiest and cheapest way possible saving you money in the long run. All you have to do is ask. After all, everyone who posts in the Emergency section have one goal.....to help and save their birds. Grant it, sometimes there's misinformation put out, then hopefully someone will come along and correct the misinformation... you have to learn to filter through it and use common sense.

They are not my birds I was trying to help someone else with there birds,and they only bought tylan and corid and that's all they wanted to do,so I told them to go ahead and try to use the tylan

 

[chickenstar]

Just found out from the owner of the chicks that they are already doing much better from the tylan and corid,even the weakest one and its only been what not even 24hours,I'm just glad I could help this person!

I am really curious as to what all was done to cost 2k. And what was wrong with your hen?

I'm gonna guess that it was the hen in post #12:
