If left untreated it can cause serious illness or death, but thankfully the treatment is simple! 🫗Grab a cup of warm water 🐥Either dip the chick into the warm water or soak a paper towel in warm water 🧻Use the paper towel to gently wipe until clean 🥥Optional: rub a small amount of coconut oil on the vent to prevent further buildup
