I wanted to up date you!
I only gave her the 2 doses and she's still walking great! Not perfect... but just slow. No stumbling and able to get up & walk on her own!
I also was on a radio show this morning "The Chicken Whisper" (check Facebook) and spoke to their doctor on call live.
He said...
Any health food store.... Tell them it's little tubes of tiny balls - homeopathic! I'm hearing that using it long term may not work.... Just a time or 2.... I'm still researching.
This is what you need.... it's HOMOPATHIC. I followed the directions in this other members post.

appychick so you are saying do not give it to her again? I did one dose last night.... she walked within 15 mins......(ALSO, I...
I posted last night and just a half hour ago about my 3 year old Buff Orphington not walking for 2 days...... I read a post about using a natural cure HYPERICUM for Mareks or 'nerve damage'
I can not figure out if she has Mareks or not.... so I bought some this evening!
She has not walked in 2...
My 3 year old hen has been having a hard time walking all summer. She stopped laying last November after a coop attack. Has good & bad days, but stopped completely walking 2 days ago! I have her in the house and she can not stand without falling over. I have checked her feet for...
I'm in a panic with the same issue... Won't stand on either leg but she's been having a hard time walking for about 2 months. She has good & bad days.... Today she can not stand at all. I'm at a loss....
I checked her feet for bumblefoot.... No sign. Her feet are directly under her. She can push my hands away with her feet/legs... She moves them. Just won't stand for more than 3 sec. And won't walk.... Falls to her side. How do you check for Mareks?
My Buff Orpington is 3 year sold this month. For the past 2-3 months she has been getting slower & slower in her walking. She has good days & bad.
It's like she has arthritis! She has alot of trouble keeping her balance. It's like her feet hurt so bad she can't walk!
Today was a bad day...
I thought she has a leg injury but I think I have ruled this out!
She can not walk and has gotten worse over the last few days. Now I can't even get her to stand!
She was standing and then would take a few steps by lose her balance.
She falls forward.
Her poop was normal but now it all...
Maybe it isn't a leg problem??
I can't figure it out.....
When she does walk she waddles pretty bad, then loses her balance.... then she just sits there.
She hasn't laid eggs in 6 months..... could it be something else?
My 2 year old hen just sit down and can't go anywhere.
If I stand her up, she stands, but won't walk.
I kept her in the porch all day... and she never got up to walk.
She's eating & drinking.... and pooping!
Looks good... acts good.
She's not in distress & I touch her leg & hip with no...
I've trimmed her 3X now..... still gets over!
None of the others fly/jump over now.... except her!
She loves to mess up my MULCH!
She sees me come out of the back door... and she starts running back to the gate......
she knows she's not supposed to be out!
I got her in a batch of Barred Rocks...... after about 2 weeks I knew she wasn't where she belonged! But now all the Barred Rocks have new homes and she's still here..... too pretty! AND yesterday she started hunkering down when you come near her because she wants to be picked up or petted...
