Well, I just saw your other thread where you posted that your cat has gotten into the chick bin, so I suppose that the problems stem from your cat injuring it severely.

No he didn’t touch them just looked and I checked them all over for injuries

There’s probably no way of saving it but you can try giving it raw egg yolk.

He keeps breathing with his pith open

His eyes are tearing now and he stopped making noise

Would rural king give me another one?

Just try to be there for him. Maybe warm him up?

I keep holding him in a warm towel and putting him under a heat lamp

 

[Sara S]

he was also smaller than the others but they all hatched the same day

Try some sugar water, or Gatorade.

He can’t drink at all I tried electrolyte water and he couldn’t drink it even from a dropper

Just try your best.

I think he’s gone His legs went stiff and his eyes are half closed and glazed over
