I have a one week old chick that starting yesterday, was wobbly and tipping over. At first I thought she was sick because yesterday I found a bloody poop and started a round of Corid. (I posted about it yesterday.)
This chick is still eating and drinking, and can stand short amounts of time.
It looks like it’s getting worse. What can I do to help her??
Here’s a video of her from last night, and a few photos from this morning.
She’s among 10 from Cackle.
Thank you for any advice! Picture 1 is at rest, picture 2 is how she looked this morning, picture 3 is her eating. 🙁

Have you stopped the corid and given any more nutridrench?
I have stopped the Corid and will start the nutri drench in an hour when I get home. I haven’t seen any more bloody poops and except for this chick, everybody is acting vigorous and happy. All are eating and drinking. In other words, they don’t act sick.

Is it dark bloody or still pink? Its still likely intestinal shed but if it is Coccidosis, you have a difficult situation.
If you treat the Coccidosis, the vitamin deficiency will get worse. If you treat the vitamin deficiency and if it Coccidosis, the Coccidosis will get worse.

Ugh. I’ve only had that one poop that’s pictured above. And they all acting happy and crazy like I want them to be. That makes me think it’s the intestinal shed. I think the nutri drench might be more urgent.
Do you think this chick has splay legs?

If it was just that one, it's like shed. You can give him a direct dose of nutri-drench, a few drops in the beak, a few times a day.
Or you can give 400I.U Vitamin E and 1/4 of a B-Complex tablet mixed in some egg yolk.

Thank you again. I have some nutri drench so I’ll use that. I don’t know which chick had the poop, so I’ll put some in their water for them all, and then give that chick with the leg problems some directly. Since my last comment I’ve been watching videos on splay legs and that looks like that could be it. Now to tape it up. 😬
Again, thank you for replying and for helping me figure this out. ♥️

It could also be a play leg but it not obvious from photos. Good luck!
