HELP - Baby chick gasping what should I do

[busterduck]

I have a baby chick (about a week to two weeks old) who is arching his head and seems like he is gasping over and over.

Anyone have any ideas about what I should do?

Buster, what type of bedding are you using?

Could it have been dusty? I know that will give chicks breathing problems. Just trying to think of what it could be is all.
