Possible Vent Gleet in chick

[HollyParks]

I only have one chick who had pasty butt. I cleaned her up, got her mostly dry and put her back in the brooder. Her crop looked a little unusual but it seemed fine and now it’s back to normal. She’s still active but now stands with her eyes closed. Her vent is leaking white and is constantly wet and dirty despite me cleaning her up. I saw her “drooling” water and she shook her head.
I’ve given her some plain Greek yogurt with a little water just to her beak, though I do have chick starter crumble as well as ground eggshells in the brooder.
I’ve never seen this in a chick before and none of the others are showing any signs. My brooder is indoors and I keep it very clean and the water clear. What else can I do for her?

Wow, that first picture almost does look like vent gleet but doubtful it could have that low of flora in its system at such a young age. I guess what else explains the leaking of white stuff though. Maybe try putting some Monistat ointment on her butt.

The Greek Yogurt was a great idea. I would also get some powder probiotic/electrolytes for their water. We use Hydro-Hen but there's Sav A Chick and several others that do the same. You can give that to them all day every other day.

I'm not sure why the ground egg shells in the brooder though. I've never heard of it myself. It's not like she needs calcium right now. Maybe you have heard of a reason for it I haven't so just wondering.

I know I'm a little late to the party, but I was browsing and came across your thread and wanted to respond for future reference. Usually the "drooling" you described is from sour crop. I don't think I've EVER had a chick of this size though with sour crop.

Usually it's treated by pulling food and water here's the part where it's a big debate, but always helped me.. Helping them bring up tiny bit of the contents in their crop (literally tiny bit u don't over do it) and treating with monistat. I've always had success this way.
