Chick cant breathe what to do?

[kylen2007]

I put her back with the others and they were all so happy to see her. She instantly ran back to Them and snuggled right up. I already have a thermometer in there and its reading at 93. I did raise the heat lamp a tad though. I syringe gave her 2 MLs of electrolytes and then added some to the regular water in case she drinks from it. I also re showed her where food and water is. She seems tl have perked up since I gave her the electrolytes. Praying this is all she needed just a little TLC. I decided to name her Ellie.

Sounds great. Let us know how she gets along.

Well miss Ellie seems to be feeling mich better. I gave her the electrolytes throughout the night and this morning she was up eating. Her breathing is still labored but not as bad as yesterday. Also when I reached in to get her this morning to give her more electrolytes instead lf just sitting there lethargic she ran away from me with the others.

Oh wonderful, so glad!

Sad to say I came home today and found Ellie passed away. She was doing so well and it looked like she was going to pull through. :'(

Oh, I'm so sorry that you lost her. She may have had some internal problem or weakness that she just couldn't survive. I hope the others continue to do well.

I'm so sorry for your loss. It's always tough to lose a chick, but know that you were an excellent caretaker and did all you could for her. And I agree with the above, she likely had a weakness that made losing her quite probable if not inevitable. Let us know if you notice anything with the others, but I trust they'll be fine!
