Last week I posted that my hen had wry neck. I started treating with vitamin e oil, but after 2 days switched to the vit e gel caps as i was told the oil wasn't pure E. I have been giving her electrolytes and acv in her water, the first couple days she could drink on her own. I have been syringe giving her water. She has been able to eat on her own so far.
This morning she just doesn't seem as active, and her crop was empty. I gave her fluids but I have yet to see her eat,wherther outside this morn, or in. I put her in the pen part, closed from the rest, and a cage in my porch,so not to affect her with drastic temp changes of the house.
I believed it was a vitamin deficiency,as i started them on a fermented feed diet for almost 2 wks, and stopped when i noticed other hens losing weight from it. Anyways, i have read it can take weeks if it's a vitamin deficiency, to start to show improvement, but how would I know if it's a neurological issue instead, causing this? How long do i keep treating to know its not vitamin deficiency?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
