First hawk attack

[Jasfarm]

I'm still struggling to bring this little girl back to health. She was doing really well after she came out of shock very talkative and eating and drinking on her own her balance wasn't too bad. A week or so went by and she slowly stopped eating and drinking. She's getting super thin and her eye is huge and glued shut. Balance is horrible.

I tried doing multiple warm compresses to try to loosen the eye lids and putting Neosporin on it but that hasn't been doing anything. So I picked up an antibiotic that was supposed to be better than terramycin I read somewhere. It's called aqua zithro. We're on day four of me syringing about 3 to 4 ml. Then giving it to her for about 4 days and it hasn't really been doing too much that I've noticed. So I ordered the terramycin and have been giving that to her on her eye in addition. I hope that's ok. I've also been giving her one tab of B complex for the last 4 days and medicine dropping raw egg because she won't eat scrambled. I did put yogurt in with her but I don't know if she actually ate it. It looked like there was less than what I had given her but I don't know if the water content evaporated causing it to look like that. I'm really trying everything. Did I screw something up here? Also I saw what seemed to be a bug crawl across her eye but it could have been my imagination. It could have been dander it was tiny and white. I looked under her wings and her butt but I didn't see anything at all. And she's been inside ever since so I'm not really sure if she does have bugs. I gave her a bath anyway with Dawn's soap blow-dried her. While doing this I noticed there's a bare spot on top of her wing that I hadn't noticed before. It doesn't look inflamed it just looks like bone. I sprayed it with vetercyn just in case.

I need honest feedback did I make a mistake with the antibiotics? I'm trying everything and I feel like I'm failing her. I'm starting to cry just using speech to text here.

Is there anything I can do at this point or should I just put her down?

Sending hugs! I am not an expert so will let @Wyorp Rock handle that.

Just know you are doing all you can and being a great chciken momma! I think there is always hope with chicks and I don’t think you made a mistake here at all!

What's the med dosage in the 3 to 4ml antibiotics you are giving her? Don't worry about the exposed wing spot, they all have it.
Have you noticed any blood in her poo when she was first eating well?

 

[LizGio]

No blood, there wasn't a dosage on bottle just one pill dissolved into 8oz water. I syringed what I could

 

[SmiYa0126]

How did her poo look when she was eating?

 

[LizGio]

To be honest I'm having a very hard time find a poo in the shavings but the last poo I did notice was clear with green solids

 

[SmiYa0126]

If you have pellets I would force feed her a few pellets and some grubs if you have them, undiluted nutri drench as well. I had to do that with a couple of my hens when they weren't feeling good.

It is messy I was covered in feed and specks nutri drench but after doing that but it gave them energy.

How long after administering nutridrench should I see improvement

 

[SmiYa0126]

@LizGio aww poor baby do you have aqua mox? Her poop being that yellow could mean botulism. She needs antibiotics. Can you post a picture of what you have? The pill you dissolve?

@Wyorp Rock 911! Botulism?!
