Long story short I have a chick that was injured and now isn't eating on her own.
I'm having to syringe feed her water and mix chick crumbles with water and make a mash and syringe feed it to her, also offering her cooked egg but she doesn't seem to want it tonight. I'm wondering how often I'm supposed to feed her and how much each time (like how many ml's how many times a day?!) Also she is getting some vitamins cause she isn't eating.
She is 4 1/2 weeks old and is a unknown mutt bantam.
Here's the long version but no one seemed to answer me!!

Please help me!!! We (me and Little Annie Oakly) would both appriciate it!!
If you dont want to read the long version she was attacked by my kitten. has numerous lacerations on her that are healing up nicely, but she just feels crappy and wont eat. She cannot maintain a steady body temp either(i think she actually almost died of hypothermia today, but is now on a heating pad in front of the wood stove!!!) also she cant poop right. I keep having to clean her butt so it wont get blocked
