6 week old chick stopped using legs

Yes. That helps a lot! You have amazing insights. Thanks! I've found B-Complex in a local store, so crushed the pill, mixed with water and gave her a bit with the syringe. What is the right dosage? Dissolving and feeding the entire human-size pill seems a bit much. I've tasted it and it's not the best . So just leave the rest of what she did not drink in her water? Any guidance on dosage would be appreciated.

B Vitamins are water soluble, and any excess would be excreted in the urine, so it would be hard to overdose her.
That said, for her age/size, I would give 1/4 tablet daily, see how that goes, you can bump it to 1/2 for the first couple of days to give a jumpstart if you wish.
She's old enough that you could just pop that amount into her beak and let her swallow, they can be good at spitting out pills too, but that's the best way to get the dose into them.
If you can't get her to swallow the tablet piece, then dissolve it in a tiny amount of water and syringe it into her.

B Vitamins to me taste terrible. They may turn her poop a bit more yellowish as well.

Yeah, I think I'll let her swallow next time. She did not like the syringe. I've found a link with dosage here:

But what you suggest seems reasonable and that's what I was also thinking of.

So now just need to wait and pray. Hopefully it will be all right! Thanks again!!!

Giving B Complex, but so far no progress. In the meantime, found something new! I've started a new thread, since this thread is getting old and probably fades away from where people look for new things. Or maybe I just don't know how this site works. At any rate, continuation is here.
