Yes that's what I thought , I have rang the vet but couldn't talk with the expert in hens!!!!!! But I'll try again later, what is worrying is why she can't stand , I had noticed ever since I got her that she twitched her head in a strange manner , I hope it's not something neurological combined...

Thank you so much for your reply !! Yes I said that I was reposting ! I have stopped medicating legs . I'll try the vet again ... Just very hard to get in contact with .... Did yours have problems standing too ?

Good morning from Italy !! Well she is still alive but not standing , she has to be encouraged to eat but I managed to get her to eat a 1/4 of an egg, some tomato and a little mixed grain . I had to give her water with a syringe but not much , I'll try again later. She has some yellow mucus...

Thank you all !! Yes I'm kicking myself that I didn't sit back and think for a minute before giving the injection ... I was rushing to get things sorted , I have learnt my lesson . I'll post again tomorrow ! Thanks

Hello Thank you for your reply . I just used a blob of the shampoo on each leg and scrubbed with a toothbrush and then used drops that the vet adviced to use !? Do you think it might be Marek's disease ?

Hello ! I called the vet and I have given him four injections of antibiotics and there is a bit of an improvement . Yes his operated foot has healed but both feet are red in between his toes and warm to feel . He will only walk a bit when I encourage him . I hope he gets better soon ..... Thanks

I also have a limping hen. I treated her for bumble foot as she had a small black area under her foot which has now cleared up but she still wouldn't use her foot. It has become noticeably smaller and there are two black marks on the top of her claw there is no swelling or no sign of cuts. What...
