Help sick 3 week old barred rock chick

[chickendreams24]

The way corid works was explained to me in that it doesn't kill the cocci it stops it from replicating. By doing that it helps her body build up an immunity to it. She could get worse before getting better as her body fights. Its very important that she is kept safe warm and dry all water in with her and her broodermates needs to be treated and she should be given no electrolytes until after she has completed treatment as that is what corid does to stop the cocci from replicating it blocks a vitamin/mineral that the cocci needs to reproduce. I can't remember off the top of my head what one it is though.

After she has completed treatment and only then you will want to start her on an electrolyte and a probiotic pack for a week.

Oh ok yes that's explains it she looks worse today can't get her to eat today she's drinking less on her own she keeps feeling cold I separated her from the others only put her in with two others I have her by her self with a light the others r too wild I freaked out today thinking she's gonna die soon and mixed smart water with the corid I need to go dump that out. So it's been 9 days now and I think 3 days of the corid maybe 4 I lost count now. I really should have separated her sooner but I didn't have anything at the time to put her in. I let her sleep with two last night to keep her warm but took them out this morning they were stepping on her being too wild so I took them out. My poor little girl I hope she gets better soon she's been suffering for 9 days

Are you using the Smart Water to make your Corid solution?
If so, use plain water instead.

Also put the Corid water in the yellow waterer so she can drink from that. I don't think the medicine cup is large enough for her to "scoop water". Make sure the Corid water is the only water available.

I do have it in the big one too I only use the measuring cup to give water by hand also today I did mix some with smart water I'm gonna dump that out I literally just did it at 7am like 10 min ago I'm gonna put plain water like I've been

Can you take her to a vet? I know it's expensive, but if you can afford it it's probably the best thing to do.

How many days has she had the one drop? If after 2 or 3 days you don't see improvement, it's time to look at other drugs.

What is the temp in her brooder?

I would get a heat lamp on her ASAP. The photos I see I would say she's to cold. Anytime, you have a sick or weak bird of any species, try to bring body temp up, but keep a close eye on her, do not over heat.

Good Luck!
