HELP - 5 day old chick - respiratory infection? pasty butt & wry neck! ugh!

Sorry that she is still doing poorly, but this can happen when you have a problem hatch. Do you have a syringe and needle to withdraw it from the vial? I would give 0.2 ml orally into the beak a drop at a time, 3-4 times a day for 3-5 days. The B Complex, can be cut into 4 pieces and crush a 1/4 tablet onto some small amount of her chick crumbles. A drop or two of water can get the vitamin to cling to feed.

You need to get it in her ASAP or you might lose her. Good luck and I hope she makes it!

Yes I have a needle syringe to withdraw the liquid. I just gave her some orally and she is lying on her side under her heat lamp now. I got the liquid B complex as well. I have yet to give her that but she did have some nutri drench early this morning

Got it in her and I am giving her a break before administering some b vitamin complex. Fingers crossed

Make sure that she doesn't get too hot. Laying on her side is a sign of being over-heated.
