- Thread starter Scuffer
- Start date
Hi Scuffer-----how old is your chick? General support stuff that I'd carry out--isolate,warmth,fluids orally by syringe if not drinking. If treating specifically for coccy then start it straight away . If you decide on the vet route I can highly recommend one within your reach.Will PM you vet details .Ros

I've found than an infrared lamp, placed where they can find their own level of warmth works better than any other heat source for sick birds. Remember reading ages ago, I can't recall where, that infrared light helps because of the specific wavelength of the light. Hope your birds are better soon!
