Sick Peachick

[BirbMom13]

I need some help. I have a 3ish month peachick of unknown lineage who I'm 99.99% sure I bought already sick. I've had her for 5 days now and started force feeding yesterday. I've wormed her and started on Corid. Is there any way I could get her to put on more weight and eat enough by herself? She's deathly thin compared to my IB chick who's built like a brick house and weighs like one compared to her. He's only 2 1/2 months and smaller too. She gets around but is extremely lethargic and doesn't do much. Today is the worst I've seen her.

Welcome to BYC. Can you post some pictures of the sick chick and its poop?

I'm at work at the moment, but here's a pic from the other day. Her poo is extremely watery, a greenish yellow and very little signs of food waste. She sits there scrunched over with her wings dangling. I'm worried I caught this too late.

Do you have any Baytril and metronidazole?

 

[BirbMom13]

I do not.

 

[casportpony]

I do not.

Is a vet an option?

 

[BirbMom13]

Not at the moment. I have nothing saved up yet. Was planning a visit in the future, but it was just going to be a check up.

A fecal exam done by a vet would tell you what you need to treat with but you have very little time to act at this point.
