Hi, I suspected I'd be back again begging for more pea-advice, and here I am... :/
I got 3 peachicks a few weeks ago, that are about 2-3 months old. They were fine until now, perky and inquisitive, but today I noticed one of them sitting in a corner. I went to pick him up and saw that both his eyes were shut and he couldn't open them. I took him home and washed his eyes with chamomile tea. They opened, but the chick still seems sick. He looks weak and droopy and sleeps all the time. I called the vet for advice and he said to give him Baytril, that I already had for the rabbits. I did that and also gave him some ivermectin that I got for worming.
The chick is not eating or drinking. I give him some water with a syringe now and then. He does poo and it looks fine, like the normal poo in the poo thread. Any idea what it could be and what I could do to help him...? Really worried and don't want to lose him!
Thanks, Iris.
