*Update in OP* My Chick's neck folds backwards (Video)

[purpletree23]

IMHO I think 3 drops of Poly Vi Sol is too much for a little chick. I give 2 or 3 drops to my full grown hens if they get sick. Just a thought.

I wondered about that. I also wondered if the small amount of B1 in the PVS (.5 mg in a full dropper) was worth it when I could buy B1 and crush it and sprinkle it into the food. It stinks trying to figure out what to do.

I wouldn't worry overly much about an over dose. I had a conversation with our vet about vitamins. Thiamine is a water soluble and, as such, is excreted in the urine or urates in the case of a chicken. The body can only use so much at a time and will get rid of what it does not need. Over time, large amounts of Thiamine can cause problems but, with what you are doing with your chick, I don't think you should have any concerns. I hope he / she gets better !
