Just curious if anyone has found something that works for restoring leg use. Our hen lost the use of hers. I am not sure what her original problem was...very possibly Capillary worms were a contributor, but I don't think they are the cause of the whole issue. We have been tube feeding her but she can neither eat on her own, or walk. She can move her wings (I have not seen her flap them, but she can move them) and everything else...and she struggles to get up, but it's not working. We are including high potency B & K vitamins as well as electrolytes and probios when we are feeding her, in the hopes that it is an electrolyte imbalance or vitamin deficiency problem. She seems to be getting brighter. In the hospital cage she is in, it is not big enough to put her in a sling, and although we do have a bigger cage, I am reluctant to use a sling, I've used them, once or twice,in past years, but to me they seemed to just add to the bird's stress. She has been this way for eight days. I have researched, and found nothing that indicated anyone was successful from bringing a bird back that had leg paralysis, but just trying to make sure.
Thanks
