need help fast please!!!!

I am so upset. Truly disturbing to see how awful it looks, I'm feeling like she's not going to make it :(
I just gave her a warm soak as suggested and was able to see just how bad it is. There is a very large area on her underside that is not just swollen but bulging out and it looks as though you can actually see her insides throbbing

she is in a separate brooder....
All you can do is try,keep her warm,offer food/water. If other chicks are not pecking at her,then perhaps it might be best to leave her with them,less stress for her in an already stressful situation.
 
This was right after the bath

This is why i was asking about navel area,mushy chick disease or omphalitis is an infection,but you mentioned that there is no scab/sore or any indication of wound/opening in navel. She is eating/drinking which is good.
I don't see any open sores, but she I am noticing that she doesn't seem to be eating and drinking. She was pecking at the ground but I haven't seen her do that in about an hour :(

Is she by herself or with other chicks,i would put her back with other chicks. She has no open wounds for them to peck at and it will be less stressful for her,this could be one reason why she is not eating/drinking.
