My month chick was attacked by a ferret two days ago. She won’t eat or drink on her own. I’m going to get baby food for her but how many ml do I give at a time? Home many times a day? I’m giving her water every hour but again, how many ml at a time and how many times a day?

I gave her some yogurt thinned with a little unsweetened apple juice. Egg can’t be mashed enough to go through my syringe.
 
Watery chicken feed or Kaytee baby bird feed is best for a balanced diet. Can you get a weight on the chick? Here in post 1 of this thread about tube feeding, it gives instructions on how much fluid to start out with and how much to do maintenance and how many times a day. It can help to feel of the crop to see if it is emptying between feeding times.

I have a kitchen scale, next time I move her I’ll get a weight. We only have a Petco- not sure if they’ll have all the supplies or food.
Thank you! I may be back with questions later.
