So if this happens again should I use this? Or should I use it for the other ones? Would it hurt then even though they’re healthy?

Just know that it means it simply does not have the internal mechanics to survive.

Often heroics merely prolong the unthriftiness in a chicken. They are either well, or not.

Yes, it sounds like the little one will not make it through the night. It is possible to euthanize with some starter fluid in a closed container. It is ether. Wet a paper towel thoroughly, place in small closed container. Let it fill a bit. Place chick.

Thankfully the others are happy and well.

Thank you! I really appreciate the advice!! :)
 
I'm sorry you lost the chick . There are several things you can do when hatching . The best thing is dip the umbilical cord in iodine .As soon as the cord detaches from the shell . Human iodine buy it at walmart , And as for the Durvet well. My bad the only way you can get a water suable antibiotic product is through a licensed Vet. now. The abuse and over use of antibiotics has created super bacteria . If a little is good a lot is better . Well not true . Even doctors are now not prescribing antibiotics like they were . We must use antibiotics responsibly. When do you give antibiotics . Infections in cuts you can see . you know you need to use antibiotics then .So only when we're sure they will work is the best rule . The problem is when looking at a sick bird or animal. We really don't know sometimes without growing cultures , to tell us whether it's viral or bacterial. I'm not and most of us aren't set up for that . So we roll the dice and treat what we think it might be . We can and have used injectable drugs orally. You can get this

at TSC and the dosage would be a tiny drop for a little chick . It is a per the pound drug . And I haven't had to do the math yet . I still have the other on hand . If it was grown chicken I would inject a quarter cc in the breast muscle using a three froths inch 22 gage needle for at least five days . If you hatch or have farm animals and live far enough away to make the trip to a vet a long one then you need to keep certain drugs on hand .Corid .Nutridrench . Save A Chick and other electrolytes. Antibiotic ointments for cuts . Iodine for small cuts and cord dipping . Peroxide for flushing cuts and infected wounds. Injectable antibiotics just to name a few . And you need to make sure the medicines you have on hand have not reached their expiration date .Buy only as much as you think you use in self life of the medicine . Make sure you check expiration dates when you buy . IKR TMI :lau:old
