How do you feed baby chicks medication?

[sheamargaux]

I have a baby chick which I believe has wry neck and I am wondering how much vitamin e and selenium do you give and how do you get the chick to eat it? I created an emotional bond with this chick so I am really hoping this will help.

Vitamin/electrolyte mix in the water and if you can find a liquid form of vitamin E, you can administer with a dropper. Egg yolks are also a good source for both nutrients, and can be offered.

Would you cook the egg or feed it raw?

Hard boiled, then mash and add a bit of water. It goes down easy, and even very sick/weak chicks will make an effort to eat some of it.

Thanks! I will try that tonight.
