I have a chick that is going on her 2nd day of what I think is wry neck, and I can't get her to a vet until noon tomorrow(her 3rd day of wry neck). She's fighting me and my husband when we try to feed her a high vitamin liquid food replacement, she's very tired and won't/can't do much to help her case.

Any tips for getting her to eat, or last until her appointment tomorrow?
 
Get human Vitamin E gel caps...cut end off and dribble the liquid into beak. If you can get it to eat any scrambled eggs...do so. The selenium in eggs helps the E uptake. Vitamin E is priority right now! You can also try to use Nutri-drench for additional vitamins but do not rely on the Vit E in the drench. It is not enough.

I've been giving her a mixture of vitamin E, nutri-drench, and egg yolk, but my husband says she still doesn't want it. I can try scrambling them though, thank you!
