A lump on her neck doesn't sound like Marek's to me. There are a lot of things that can affect chickens neurologically. Who knows if she will recover or not. It sounds like you might be on the right path, however you are treating her. As long as she keeps improving, there's no reason not to...

Moody Chicken hasn't been on here for a long time, but it's quite clear what you are supposed to use if you read the directions. And I have had it work, more than once, although not for every case. Nuff said.

I don't know what 12C is, but you could ask the store. They ought to know. It's also available on line, although that takes longer, obviously. I've always used the 30.

I don't think there's any way to tell. The only thing you can do is try to treat for it, or not.

Please. Enough already.

The article clearly states it is referring to Hypericum Perforatum.

Quote: What do you care what people use, as long as it works??? Sounds to me like you have a problem with people that have used it with success. Sad that you seem to be trying to destroy the hope of others for whom it MIGHT work. I am living testimony to say that it HAS worked for me, and I...

See my posts from August re toxicity of St John's Wart. It's not toxic at all, administered properly.

Great news!

Not only does it indicate that Hypericum contains SJW, it also references toxicity of SJW in large doses. Although it mentions toxicity in some livestock, poulttry are not included.

This is what we are talking about. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypericum_perforatum

What reference did you get that from? And yeah, I do believe Hypericum has SJW in it. I've never seen anything indicating it causes liver damage.

Unless the sling is in the chicken tractor, we would...because otherwise she'd be a target for predators. But the tractor will be free soon, so we're thinking about making the sling. She's not doing all that well though. She does have a little better use of her legs; my husband was trying...

Good point. My husband mentioned he wanted to try this, too. Only reason we haven't is we'd have to stay with her....or put her in the tractor to do it, and the tractor's in use by one of our other hens for the most part, right now. Though maybe not for much longer.

Quote: I agree, absolutely. She's been struggling to stand up for the past couple of days, this is something new. She's getting nowhere, but at least she's trying. For what it 's worth, we have a blind goldfish. He does fine, he's been blind for a couple of years. He can tell where food is by...

WEll, that''s good. Just keep trying, is all you can do. If you have read any of this thread, you've seen that amazing things can and do happen with this stuff. Or not...but as long as there's life, there's hope. I got YinYang to eat some watermelon tonight..if she were healthy there would be...

Buttermilk is beneficial in that it has probiotics and is better than yogurt, and they just seem to like it. Twice I've gotten sick chickens to eat by dribbling a little applesauce on their tongue. Sometimes it takes a couple of mealtimes, doing that. If she just won't eat, you can tube...

Try soft food...Yin Yang loves chopped hard boiled eggs, chopped black cherries, soft bread soaked in buttermilk. Any soft food that she likes and will eat....my husband holds her in his lap most mealtimes and talks to her and encourages her to eat.. She likes the attention and will sit and...

It is a form of St John's Wart...not sure how they make HP. that's good, that she's giggling lol. Yin Yang hates it. I'm giving her a break from the HP today, as we discovered that now she has roundworms. I just don't see how..I dewormed her ten days ago, and we've been careful to keep her...
