Help PLEASE?!? Newbie here. 11 day old chick sick

What would you do to treat for either?

I gave you the treatment for constipation in post #10 on this thread.

As @KikisGirls said, get some Corid. I think it's a teaspoon in a half gallon of water, and give it to all the chicks as their water source for five days. In a week, repeat the Corid in the water for another five days.

Is that a heating pad or did you just make a "huddle" box? If you're using the heating pad, you don't need the light.

Sorry, just seeing this. The Corid worked. All is well and the chick is doing great! thank you!

Sorry, just seeing this. The Corid worked great. Chick is fantastic. The chicks are now in our coop with a light keeping an appropriate temp in an area that they have 10 feet to get away if desired. In the brooder, I had bent wire to make like a tunnel and laid a heating pad on low over it. They loved it

Re: heat. Thermometer is at 89 and they vacillate between going and sitting right under lamp (together) to going to other side, so ? am remiss to mess with it too much.
Cocci-- they're on medicated feed?? ...?so hmmm. All other chicks fine.
Oh, another mention... when BO is "awake", she goes through motions w/ eyes closed for the most part. I just gave her some water/sugar mix w/ eye dropper and upon stirring her, she opens eyes, but then settles back w/ them shut.

Did you dip her a few times so she knows where the water is?

When this all happened, she had known where water was (she was 11 days). All is better now and GROWING! Thanks!
