Hello all,
I have a 4 week old Bielefelder what is having problems with walking. The problems started on the day she became 3 weeks old. The days before she was a bit slower than her sisters but no problems with walking. The legs where paralysed and it moved by dropping and flapping her wings. I started directly with vitamin B Complex tablets 2 times a crushed 1/4 tablet a day.
After a few days she could use her right leg a bit better.
And after about 5 days i saw improvement on her left leg.
I my opinion the legs are improving small steps at a time but she still stumbles over her toes and sitting most of the times on her hocks. When she sits the toes are sticking foreward or a bit curled in. Sometimes i see the feet like normal if she is sitting at the food.
She eat and drinks. And is going by her self flapping and stumbling towards the food and waterer.
My questions is how long can it take before she will be able to walk if it is indeed a vitamin B2 deficiency? And is it wise to continue with the crushed 1/4 vitamine B complex tablet?
