I am worried it might be Marek's and I'll finally get to meet this disease in person too.
He was very ok until yesterday evening when we came to the farm and found him sleeping in a corner on the ground, not on the perch. I picked him up and let him walk and he was walking like in slow motion, dragging both feet. We brought him home and he's now downstairs near the rabbits in a crate. This morning (it's 6 am here) I turned on light and checked on him, either I've been watching too many youtube videos or he's doing the "classic" one foot forward, one back thing.
I am scared and very sad. Is there anything I could or should do? I am working today but can take him to the vet's tomorrow (Saturday), which might be way too late. I know Marek's has no cure if it's that, but what else could it be?
I don't know yet how he's acting otherwise, he started to eat but I left him to come and post this before my North American friends go to bed, in hopes to get some answers.
I did do a search on weak legs and read about Marek's, but I'd like your personal experiences. I am so hoping it's just an unfortunate landing or something, but I really don't like the way it looks.
