My silkie chick is very lethargic and can't even stand any more. She was fine this morning. She was throwing up and she is gasping for air. SHe was throwing up white foam stuff. She was laying on her side and I thought she was dead. Please any last minute thing I could do to save this 4 day old silkie chick??!!!!!!!!!!

She is eating 20 percent chicken crumble, in a 95 degree environment, nothing in her water, paper towel brooder, and she ate hard boiled eggs last night with grit.

Good the vomit foam or bits of solids? how many other chicks does she share a brooder with?

 

[joe17]

Its like bubble suds. Its no solids. It is in a brooder with 5 other silkies the same age. The brooder is a decent size guinea pig cage.
