Baby Chick Drinking Water But Not Eating

[emmsx3]

I would try to reduce her stress as much as possible.

Okay will do. I keep her in a room where its nice and quiet and she's been resting.

Good, stress as overlooked as it is, really affects recovery.

Chicks with coccidiosis do not feel like eating because it hurts. Fluids are the best for her right now. She will eat when she is ready. How do her poops look? She looks so tired.

Oh I see I'm glad then that she's drinking a lot of the water that's given to her throughout the day.

Her droppings are still the same. That whitish with a bit of orange and brown color. At times it would be solid and at times just runny. I also noticed the smell is really strong. I've inserted a picture below of the last one she had done.

I was wondering as well after she's done with her medication, I read somewhere that its best to give her some vitamin B? Is this true?

Her most recent droppings. Its been the same since I started her medication. I notice theres always a bit of white in there even without the dark brown/orange color. Is this normal?

The white should be urates(chicken pee)

The white is normal kidney waste. Vitamins and probiotics are good for a few days after Corid is finished.

Okay great! Is everything else like the brownish color normal as well? And okay I'll be sure to find some vitamins and probiotics asap. I'm crossing fingers and hoping within the 5 day period, she will want to start eating again.

Update:

So tonight, she still stays the same although this time she stands up while she sleeps but has still not eaten yet. I noticed this morning when I gave her the undiluted Corid, around 30 mins when I gave her some water, she reached out and drank it on her own without me putting the spoon close to her beak! She was alert and looking around but she would still sleep all of today and tonight. Although later in the day she seems to still sleep though, looks very tired, and not much active yet. I also noticed she tends to open and close her mouth or sometimes leave it open as she breathes. Is something else wrong? This is her second day on the medication and her fourth day not eating. I'm hoping things will be better tomorrow.

Should I give her the undiluted Corid again tomorrow morning or should I stick with just giving her the diluted Corid with her water? Tomorrow will be her third day on this medication.

Do you still try to give her some food? Like wet cat food or pieces of boiled egg with bread crumbles. ??
