My Silkies Chick is Sick, Please Help, Thank You

[dragonroll]

Hello everyone,

I have three silkie chicks that I got last month. They are about 3-4 weeks. I do not know their gender yet. One has an eye problem. Its left eye was swollen and wetness around the eye, and hairs around the eye were less than before. I took it to the vet and got antibiotics and Flurbiprofen eye drops. It has been a week since the visit, the eye is less swollen and no more discharge. But it is less active, often stands at the corner, eats less, and tucks its head. It also sleeps with its head under the wings. What can I do to make it feel better? It used to be the tallest and most energetic one in this group. I have pictures of what I feed them. Last night I tried to feed it water with honey and apple cider vinegar. Please take a look. Any advice will be appreciated.

It might need more vitamins.

Thank you! I will add more vitamin supplements to the water.

Can you get a picture of the eye and poop?

Is she eating o.k.? What's her crop like - is it emptying?

She is eating, but not as often as before. Crop feels full. One thing to mention is that when I picked it up two nights ago, it tried to escape and split some liquid out. I didn't know if that was normal or not.

This was July 5. When we noticed it the first time:

This is today, the hairs stuck around the eye(probably from the medicine?), left side is still a little swollen:

Poop today (poop was dark brown when I just got it 3 weeks ago):

Thank you!

Poop looks pretty good.

I'd check to make sure her crop is emptying overnight. If it's not, then let us know.

Can you tell the gender? Is it a girl

No, I'm not any good at guessing boy/girl, especially with Silkies.

Cute chick though!
