Urgent!! What Is Wrong With My Two Day Old Bantam??

[Cetawin]

Okay why are you giving it antibiotics? Do you know it is sick? What is the sickness? Could the baby merely have deformaties? Could it have been stepped on in transit, dropped? You do not give medication without knowing what you are treating. Some antibiotics treat some things and others treat other things.

Try poly vi sol WITHOUT iron infant vitamins in the water... crushed the chick starter and add water to make it soupy and feed with an eye dropper or syringe. Use the rolled up washcloth idea to get the baby upright. Be prepared for the baby to die...if it cannot eat or drink, it will expire.


Good luck with the little one but stop medicating it...you could be making matters worse.

Yes, is it a problem with his legs specifically and healthy otherwise? If so, I agree that you should try taping his legs and feet together if it looks like spraddle legs. Let us know what your vet friend says. Good luck!
