What can i do for a sick baby chicken?

Question

the baby chick has diarrhea and is laying on its side. it has a bad odor. i gave it water with a dropper and have been keeping it warm. i don't know what to do.

Answer 1

it isn't going to make it....why make him suffer

Answer 2

You should bath the baby chick and try to get it walk again by trying to support the animal in standing. There could be inventions but I doubt it. Maybe a tiny tiny bit of tylenol would help. Or a tiny tiny bit of diahrea medication might help. I have no correct answer just a response.

Answer 3

You should take it to veterinary hospital.

Answer 4

It sounds like it's past too far for it. I've never been able to help one laying on it's side.

As horrible as it sounds, best thing you can do for it is to drown it. If you aren't brave enough to do that (I'm not either), then just leave it alone, it sounds like it won't be around much longer.

Answer 5

Take it to the vet.

Answer 6

It really does sound like its too far gone.You could try some antibiotics in its drinking water,maybe it will help.Call your feed store see if they have any if not ask the vet for some.If you have other chicks watch them closely.If their wings look droopy or they are puffed up with their heads held close then they are also sick.You will need to disinfect everthing in their pen and give them antibiotic also as it may be contagouse.My mother lost alot of chicks last year and they all had similar symptoms as yours.Good Luck!
