Try dripping water, a drop at a time, into it's beak. Some people mix sugar or no iron baby vitamins into the water.

Sorry double post.

If you can find a product called Poultry Nutri-Drench at your feed store, that might help.
It seems to have given a boost to a chick I have that was lethargic and lagging behind the others.
It's vitamins in a molasses base, essentially. It can be mixed with water, or given directly.
It absorbs quickly into the chick's blood stream.
