Coccidiosis and Underweight

[Txchick213]

Hello my 11 week old chick has coccidiosis. I started treatment on Sept 30th. I still have not noticed any improvement. She is not eating independently and so I feed her and give her water every 30 minutes. I made up a concoction of oatmeal, stinging nettle, sardines, plain yogurt, and flax seeds. Blending it up and feed it to her with a syringe. Should I get her baby bird formula instead? I am worried about how skinny she is. Also I am worried I have not seen any improvement yet. TIA for your help

Why do you think she is underweight? Can we have pictures of her standing and her face please? Also pictures of her poo. Is any of the other chickens having issues?

She has lost 60 grams since October 1st and when I hold her I only feel bones. Attatched is a picture of her and her sister same age and breed. Notice the comb is developing on her sister. Last picture is her with BSF on my knee and she has no interest. Also I do not have a picture of her poop.

Do her droppings look normal? Her eyes are closed in every picture, does she ever open them?
I would mix her regular chick food with some water (use the corid water if she's still on it) and feed her that (it's a more balanced diet with vitamins, minerals etc). If you can hand feed her, do that, or you can learn to tube feed (link below).
If she is not opening her eyes, then you need to examine them to make sure she can see, there is no infection or injury, etc. Or if she's keeping them closed because she feels so bad. If droppings are not normal, then you may need to switch her to a different medication, toltrazuril is one that sometimes works better.

Her eyes look normal when she opens them. Majority of the time they are closed. Her droppings are kind of runny but she doesn’t poop much. I have been feeding her with syringe and that has been working not sure how much she needs for each feeding. I will look into the medicine you recommended. Thank you

Is her crop emptying overnight?

I agree, I'd feed her chick starter. Make sure she also has Grit (crushed granite).
