Please help! Anemic chick dying

[Sqhomestead]

I have a 3 month old blue copper marans chick on deaths door. She was treated last week for cocci after a positive fecal sample at the vet. It did a horrific number on her. Her symptoms now are: twisted neck, can't stand, eyes almost always closed, pigmentation loss in many feathers. The treatment I have been giving since she got this way is vitamin e and selenium, vitamin b complex injections starting today, and Poultry Cell started today. She's had 2 clean fecal checks since stopping the treatments, this is not cocci. The Poultry Cell says can give 1 to 3 cc's daily, but for a severe case like this how much can I give her without making her sick from it? Yes, I've tried scrambled eggs , she will not touch them. I even mixed them in a little plain yogurt. The only thing I can get her to eat is her chick starter crumble. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Are you giving the vitamin E WITH the selenium? I have never needed to use it, but I have heard and read that if they are not given together, they won’t be absorbed. Other than that, I would say that starter crumble is pretty good nutritionally, better than layer for protein.

Yep, I've been giving 25 micrograms of selenium with the vitamin e 3x daily. That's what the vet that saw her rexommended. I'm not extremely confident in him with poultry but I did find some articles backing up his recommended doses.
