Little chic is doing this
No sound, like there is something-air-in his crop. They get DE in their food, vitamins, probiotics, apple cider vinegar in water. Is eating, drinking. No sourness. Sounds kinda like burps or gas from crop- only a few, not constant. Just had really watery stool. No worms or bugs. Granular like. Poo photo in comments. For vetrx what is dosage? Should i take to vet?

How is your chick?
Thank you for asking!
Took him to the vet, on antibiotics for respiratory issues, ended up treating the whole flock. (Even though they are separated)
Hes getting better slowly, been syringe feeding every day to every other day.
Need to find something to give him to regain his strength and weight. Still sneezing but not as much, acting normal otherwise, not eating great- so hes a little weak.
Any suggestions as what to feed him to regain strength and weight? Coconut oil, fish meal, cat food, baby parrot formula?
Any suggestions are appreciated!

DE mostly give respiratory distress in chicks
You should stop giving DE for few days
No no ACV
Give some ginger juice mix in water
It will clear his throat or crop
Or u can use some sweet fennel tea 🍵 if it’s a crop issue it will resolve also gas will clear by fennel tea .
Clear water poop is sometime stress
Or having a lot of water
If there’s a lot of bubbles then it’s bloating in the digestive track by something
Sometimes my roosters use to do some bubble poop after having probiotics because sometimes a high dose of vitamin probiotics cause Gas just like when we have bcomplex and Yakut together

What you just suggested to feed him is perfect!
 
I often give a banana and peanut butter mash to sick or weak chickens. Your suggestions are good too.

I agree, stop the DE and ACV. They can cause issues.
