5 week old chick dying? Already being given corid

[Harmoni]

No idea what is going on but this little one was lethargic all day. No symptoms I can see and has been on corid for almost a week now at 3/8tsp per quart of water. Not sure what to do. Doesn't want to eat.

Are you using powder or liquid Corid? Sometimes they also need a sulfa drug along with Corid.

I'm mobile so even after looking at the picture, I'm not sure. Is the poop red/bloody or is that a cecal?

Powdered. So like an antibiotic?

Maybe deworm...but I am not sure it's the problem same with cocci

One would most likely not have to deworm a chick this young/small.

Are you sure this chick is 5 weeks old?

What exactly do you feed it?
