Sick? Silkie Chick

[bcmama]

Just a follow up today, though I might just be talking to myself but... . She's doing so much better. Eating, drinking, pooing. All good things. So yesterday I gave her a drop of the Polyvisol vitaminsin the morning and a drop of olive oil in the morning and a drop at night. I massaged her crop in a downward motion about once every two to three hours and forced her to drink ACV water every hour and made her take yogurt by putting her beak in it twice yesterday. By last night she was scratching around and drinking on her own. Such a HUGE improvement for the little bird that would not move and kept her eyes closed for about 24 hours. I went ahead and gave her another drop of the Polyvisol this morning, olive oil and forced her to eat some more yogurt. It's so nice to see her moving around and acting normal. She even ran around the bathroom with the others this morning

Here's to having this past us and going forward healthy!!!

Yay! Good to hear she's getting better! Make sure you have some chick grit available for her if needed. Sometimes they'll eat better if you add some warm water to a little bit of their food and make a mash then toss whatever they don't eat it will go bad.
