Chick is dying :(

[Innsaei_vi]

We have a flock of 8 chicks.

They all had a respiratory infection that spread all around.

I treated it with doxycycline and everyone recovered, except one

This one has swollen eyes and lethargy. I took her to the vet and she gave me terramycin for the eyes and zythromicin antibiotic orally.

She perked up ALOT and was eating and drinking on her own.

Today I came home and she's just slow, stumbly, head down and eyes not interested in anything.

I have her electrolytes with a syringe and she happily drank a lot. But she's not interested in meal worms.

Any ideas? Is she too far gone?

If she is drinking thats good. I wet their crumbles and spoon feed my girl. Also I use applesauce or baby food to get them started. Hope she is better.

She's 4 weeks and not interested in food at all

Do you think she is having the infection come back again. I wish I could be more help. Maybe call your vet again to see if there is something else you can do.

Do you have any Nutri-drench you could give her. It's always good to have on hand, if you don't have it.
