I started it on TiaGard in case its respiratory
Any ideas
Eating good but I haven’t seen if it’s drinking. I gave it a dose of the medicine through a syringe.

Welcome To BYC

Did the chick start gasping after you syringed the medication into her?

Please post photos of the chick, her poop and the brooder.

Do you have existing Mycoplasma within your flock, you have Tiagard (Tiamulin) which is what this specific medication is used for.
What dose did you give the chick?

What does the chick's crop feel like?
What is the temperature of the brooder on the warm and cold side?

I'd make sure she's not too hot, encourage her to drink on her own. offer wet mushy feed to see if you can entice her to eat.
