I gave her B complex, plus the vitamin E. I will continue it every day. I read somewhere to continue the vitamins for 1-2 weeks after all symptoms are gone.Any b complex is fine, regular, b 100, or super b complex. It might take some time, days or weeks for symptoms to improve. Yes, give her the b complex and E daily for a few weeks to see if they help.
Fortunately she is able to eat on her own. She just does not ever eat a large quantity of food. She seems to get distracted or lose interst quickly, even with high-interest treats.Helping them get enough to eat and drink is very important, and might need to be done 2-3 times a day.
I don't see anything out of the ordinary when I look at her eyes. No cloudiness. My flock was AI clean back in October, and no new birds have been introduced since then. I worried about Mareks and Newcastle when she was younger, but from what I've read, it doesn't seem likely she'd have survived this long with those diseases, and other flock members would likely be sick by now. I've sort of assumed its some sort of birth defect or she was dropped as a chick.Wry neck, star gazing, crook neck, and torticolis are a neurological symptom that may be seen in head or neck injury, vitamin E deficiency, and in some diseases that affect the brain. Mareks, some respiratory viruses, such as Newcastles or avian influenza are some. But since she had some sort of tremors early on , it might be related. How old was she when she first had tremors? Oh, I found the answer in your other thread, and it was around 2 weeks. Do her eye look normal to you, or have you noticed any cloudiness in her pupils or other abnormality?
I will do that. I sure wish it would warm up! I don't think it's supposed to go above freezing until Monday.I would bring her out daily for supervised visits with her flock to keep all familiar with her.
