so we have a turkey chick, about a month old, that's come down with what looks like a cold. he's got a drippy nose and you can hear the phlegm in his lungs, but otherwise seems fine. we have him isolated but don't really know what to do from here... we would ideally like to avoid antibiotics, plus they wouldn't do any good if it's viral anyway, right? he's always been the runty guy, and has had a few bad days before (just fairly listless) but has always perked up. any suggestions?

(google searches have come up with everything from soup recipes to quitting cold turkey, but nothing helpful!)
