    Wry Neck - Confused about treatment

    It wasn't an easy decision as she was soo determined to be here. BUT, there has to come a time when without quality of life existence just isn't enough :( I would do it all over again, if it ment helping her.. I gave her the best chance if recovering, and the best care I could. She truly was an...

    Wry Neck - Confused about treatment

    Just letting you all know- Licorice is over the rainbow bridge now. I hand fed her for over 9 months, and made her as comfortable as I could. She spent days on the grass in the sunshine although she had lost the ability to be a chicken :( I made the hard decision as her quality of life was not...

    Wry Neck - Confused about treatment

    Chiqita she eats but I have to hold her. She has lost the ability to bend down on her own. Her feed time is me sitting with her on my lap while holding the bowl for her. I also have to hold her so she doesn't stretch up.. I'm certain she has suffered neurologically and has lost most of her...

    Wry Neck - Confused about treatment

    Aww thanks Fancychooklady.. Its Licorice who is amazing. I just looked after her the best I could. She never gave up, she fought through everything that was thrown at her. She's had terrible haircuts ALL over because food and poo would get stuck in her feathers. She has let me wash, trim, dry...

    Wry Neck - Confused about treatment

    Yes your correct- she can't eat on her own. She has no coordination. She lifts herself Straight Up which makes her head look like its on her back ( hope that makes sense) she stands TOO high and when she TRIES to reach the bowl she stumbles. She doesn't fall but her head is then too high and the...

    Wry Neck - Confused about treatment

    I have her living in a rabbit bank which has a wire door. I have hooked a bird feeder to the inside wire at her head height for feed- BUT she still can't eat from it. She does this silly stretching thing and stands tall but pushes her crop up and out and her head moves backwards. It's hard to...

    Wry Neck - Confused about treatment

    I got intouch with that person recommended above and his advice was its NOT Gapeworm. He said if it was shed be dead by now. He said the opening of beak, shaking head would more likely be crop adjusting. He suggested a buy a formula powder ( can't remember name) for baby chicks with issues. He...

    Wry Neck - Confused about treatment

    Hahah, she's looking scruffy, and still has her bad haircut heheh, but as you can see she is very much alive. And kinda looks normal. I just wish she could eat on her own then I wouldn't be contemplating a vet visit. It's the not being able to eat that is the problem, but her neck just won't...

    Wry Neck - Confused about treatment

    Chiqita I'm really sorry to read about your dog attack :( I know exactly how you feel. I lost my whole flock once before too, to my dogs whom after 7 years of living with chickens decided they didn't like anymore :( I then moved my NEW flock inside my pool area where they have been ever since...

    Wry Neck - Confused about treatment

    Thank you for the support :) Licorice is STILL with me lol and I haven't taken her to the vet YET. I must admit that I too think her neck is fused as it is and it's definitely why she can't eat on her own. After watching my girl daily for the last 6 months ( wow) I'm amazed at how she has SLOWLY...

    Wry Neck - Confused about treatment

    No no eggs yet- she's still going :) I am concerned though as she still can't peak at ground. I'm starting to think she won't improve from here :( I can feel a large vein or tenden running down the side of her neck which seems to be restricting her. I'm thinking its not suppose to be that...
