I heard him/her making weird hiccup noises

now I think he's dying. he is doing non stop.
I tried water, chest massage.

mouth open, gaping, hiccups to the ceiling. ??? falling over???

I'm sorry, I'm unable to view the video.

Can you look inside his beak to see if there's an obstruction?

If he's gaping, I would be very cautious giving fluids, see if he will drink on his own.
What's the crop feel like?

Im scared for the poor guy... let us know if anything changes, he may be hot or choking on something, ik it sounds gross and mean but try opening his beak and checking inside for anything.

I did check, just his little tongue.Dont think he's hot. Im in Canada, LOL and it is only early spring. He's in the living room, just catching the rays from a heat lamp off to the side.


He's asleep now. His wings are low, he's a bit puffed up, and he gapes open mouthed when he stirs, but he is mostly sleeping. since about 10pm.

I will try and change the setting on you tube....

crop feels empty. I turned him upside down (like as if he was a hen with sour crop) and tried to gently stroke from crop to beak. nothing came out. he didn't like me making him drink, I just thought it may loosen something. maybe he ate a big piece of chick starter. this brand has some bigger bits in it. he also had a plugged vent, so I cleaned that. he's pooped a watery poop since he's been in isolation. still sleeping. heaving pretty heavily and wings down.

Not sure what is going on with your little one. I had a duck once that was choking on a small pebble and we used a syringe and gave it a little bit of olive oil to help move things along. I hope he is feeling better soon.

video still says 'private' btw

 

[Minky]

I hope this works. I cannot find where it is saying private. so sorry.

how is the chick?

how is the chick?

Chick is alive, and continues to do this motion, at this rapid pace. Sometimes a chirp comes out, but mostly silent. His need to do it is so strong, it makes him fall over sometimes. He feels strong, though, when I hold him. I syringed more warm water in his mouth. I tried to feed him mush (warm water and chick starter) by putting it on the table and pecking it with my finger. I could not tempt him. He must be hungry by now. He's been doing this for 12 hours. I have no idea what is going on.
Someone please help me with some ideas.

thank You for the update, be very careful when giving liquids as you can inadvertently cause water down the airway. See if he will eat some boiled yolk and have water available. I still don’t know why he’s having trouble. Hes too young to have gotten sick from anything outdoors. I hope someone with experience sees this and can help. It must be difficult to watch him go through this. FYI the video is working thank you
