I gave a baby chick some olive oil in syringe to help with swollen crop. Now its breathing heavy and slowly and then in between labored breaths opening its mouth fast like "its tasting something"

A friend said it the oil may have gotten into the lungs. What can I do?

Also, when I massage the crop iv'e heard like a few gas bubbles pop. Is this normal? Is this related to the labored breathing?

If i get more air flowing in here or reduce temp will that help?

Please help asap. Thank you!
 
Hi there, sorry no one was able to respond, how is your chick doing?
Survived! I just hope he/she does not get infection now if a little fluid is still in lungs such as pneumonia?

I also have another chick - 2.5 wks old w slightly runny nose and sneezing who is skinny. I think it’s a bronchitis cold. Do you have any thoughts for treatment?
