HELP! (Emergency) Chick dying

[MGG]

First, don't give any liquid or feed. She could quite easily aspirate, esp. now.

Feel her crop. Is it hard or soft? Im guessing she ingested something she shouldn't have, or has an impacted or sour crop. Or a blockage in her esophagus. Gently feel her throat and see if you feel and lumps of feed. Be gentle. How long has she been like this?
Be prepared she might not make it. How's her breathing?

Her breathing is a bit slow, and her crop seems empty. She's been like this for a few hours. I touched her throat, and she acted in pain. There might be something in her throat?

I just felt around her throat. She just kept opening and closing her mouth, and I didn't see or feel anything inside of it.

What about her crop?

Take this advise rather then mine. MGG is much more experienced then me.

What about her crop?

Her crop seems a bit empty and flat.

Thanks. It would be very easy for her to get fluid in her lungs is all. Molasses might be ok once the discharge stops.

Ok. How is she doing?

I saw her get some water a few minutes ago, but she's still shaking her head around strangely, and acting tired.
