Very weak peachick?

[LOLH]

I have a peachick that is a little over 2 weeks old. He was doing great until about 2 days ago. He stopped eating and drinking and he's losing weight and getting very weak. Any suggestion on how I can get him to start eating again. I don't know what happened. Any help would be appreciated.

 

[LOLH]

I thought it was because I switched Foods but he won't even eat the food he started with and he won't drink either. I am at a loss and I'm running out of time before he's gone

So sorry the chick is sick. cam you post some poop pictures? Was it raised in a brooder or with a broody? Do you have any Corid?

 

[LOLH]

and no I do not have any corid. And he was in a brooder box.

The poop looks very dry and the urates look yellow. How much does it weigh?

 

[LOLH]

I'm not really sure how much he weighs but I do know that he has lost weight just by holding him. Up until about 3 to 4 days ago he was flying up to the top of the brooder box and really active. And his is poop was nowhere near this dry.

 

[LOLH]

Now he's just laying around barely chirping

Doesn't sound good. Any chance you can get him to a vet?

No need to continue this thread. As a matter of fact the admins can get rid of it if they see fit. Stripe is no longer with us. I guess it just wasn't meant to be.
