HElP! I feel like my chick might die

[Hi_needhelpwithmychick]

Help I have a chick that is close to two months. He keeps on opening
And closing His mouth and it looks like he’s panting. He is also very skinny and all of a sudden on Friday we found him in the brooder on the floor with the other chicks on top. I need help. He can’t stand or eat or drink in its own

sorry to hear,Are you supplying him with heat? have they been given any vitamins? A picture of your sick chick could be very helpful. Welcome To BYC!

What your seeing is fluid overload. Call vet and see if they can give you some lasix or find someone who may have some, someone with heart issues and you can take distilled water and about 2 1/2 mg -5 mg dissolved in distilled water and stick it underneath baseline of neck between skin and at or near shoulders. Diuretic probably what u will have to use but you should see an improvement. If still doing it next day, donit same way one more time. Labored breathing and gasping should get better.
If not, then you have a bigger issue in respiratory. Im a nurse so I cross over a lot, but I do this if I see this and it helps everytime. I place under skin at shoulders because she may have some fluid overload around heart or abdomen and it will go right to it. I usually mix 1 ml of water with a tiny piece of diuretic... maybe a 3rd. Lasix would be much better. I often use diabetic needle and syringe to give after mixing all in a bowl, using a regular syringe first.

This may be too risky for you so if you have an avian vet that would help but they are far and few between. Good luck, saying a prayer.

We cant give advice unless we know whats wrong, and we cant without more information.
For the time being i would suggest getting some nutri-drench at the local feed store and trying to give that to her.

We need to know what temperature you keep them at, if they are vaccinated, what you feed them, and some pics would be useful if you can get them. For now just separate your chick, and nutridrench is a good idea, @BarnhartChickens98.
