    Wry Neck Adult Silkie Hen - Vitamin regimen failing!

    Update: after week 5 of the vitamin regimen (I updated per comments so the daily regimen included a whole egg mixed with her feed, one vitamin E capsule, a dropper full of vitamin b and plain water), oatmeal made a full recovery and has rejoined her flock.

    Update: Silkie Hen with Wry Neck

    Oatmeal made huge improvements once I added the b complex (after dose 5 she was even walking around). After day 5 or 6 of the added b complex, however, she saw a drastic decline. She has come up from that decline but I am wondering if we are ever going to get past this. She has "seizures"...
