Hey, guys.
I have a five month old chicken that isn’t walking. He was fine Saturday and then all of a sudden, he was walking on his hawks and then not at all. His feet are curling and he can’t control his legs below the hawk. He can sit up on them but he’s very shaky when he does. We’ve been to the vet a few times now and he is having some respiratory issues. Can anyone give me an idea of what this could be? How can I help my Tyson?
So far what we’ve checked for: Not Marek’s. We tested for it already. Not bumblefoot. On PolyViSol without iron, Starter feed, B complex, and a medicine for inflammation (will check when I get home). Getting Baytril, a B12 and B2 injection, a take home antibiotic, and just got off oxygen right now.
Thank you.
Update: Tyson is acting like he’s in pain when he puts weight on his left hip. He starts panting and flailing but is unable to stand past his haunches. Does this happen with deficiencies or are we looking at something like sciatica or the likes?
