    Rooster unable to hold his head up

    Barbara thank you very much. That is awesome advice. Sadly I made an assumption on the hen and disposed of her corpse. When I loose another I'll perform a necropsy. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and time with me and anyone else who might read this. I'll update when I know more.

    Rooster unable to hold his head up

    Thank you very much. It's good to share knowledge. An interim update He's standing up this morning almost like nothing is wrong. He's still limping And reluctant to move around the carrier but he's standing. More than he would consider yesterday. I forgot to mention when he's down he sits...

    Rooster unable to hold his head up

    Thank you so much for your message. Oh my god, That's terrifying. I'll do my best. I lost a hen a week ago, laid an egg the day before. Just fell off her perch dead overnight. Oh god I hope it's not but it makes sense. We have so many wild birds here. Oh god I hope you're wrong....I mean...

    Rooster unable to hold his head up

    Update For a couple of weeks Carl the rooster was doing great. But one day I realised I hadn't heard him crow (which is very unusual as he loves the sound of his own voice). He wasn't well again but slightly different this time. HEn just seemed depressed. He has put on weight and looking...

    Rooster unable to hold his head up

    Hi Barbara Sorry for the late reply. I didn't end up needing to tube feeding him. My local stores didn't have anything by the time I arranged something he was recovering. It's a mystery to what caused him to recover.

    Rooster unable to hold his head up

    Update today finally we have had a breakthrough. He's holding his head up like nothing is wrong. He's weak and he is tires often. I'm going to keep him separated for another few days. It's such a sudden recovery. This is one for the books.

    Rooster unable to hold his head up

    Awesome thank you very very very much. I'll have a look today. That would make it so much easier. He's not impressed with my feeding skills. It's hard work and I already have a very difficult time for my family.

    I'm trying with the sof I'm trying. I'm treating for wry neck. PS I found two puncture marks now that the swelling has gone down on his wattle.

    Rooster unable to hold his head up

    Update. There is very little if no improvement. He can't eat which means that I must shove food down the back of his throat. I must carefully give him water several times a day. The swelling and discolouration of his wattle has gone. He is loosing weight as it's difficult to get the food...

    Rooster unable to hold his head up

    I'll try the soft gels. I'll try anything at this stage. I thought he was dead the other night. He wasn't moving and his breathing was shallow. He can at least swallow now so I can treat him better.

    Rooster unable to hold his head up

    Thank you very very very much for your reply. I've had wry neck before with my araucanas (in fact I have one now he was spooked by a branch hitting the coop). This feels different but I treat him for it. There's no confusion or twisting of the neck and he can walk forward when he does move...

    Wry neck with no improvement

    Thank you very much. I will make the time. Today I dreaded going out but to my absolute shock she's standing up looking at me with an egg under her. How can she go from no improvement and going down hill to laying an egg and holding up her head for extended periods. I truly appreciate your...

    Wry neck with no improvement

    She's taken a turn for the worse. She's spasms most of time now and is struggling to eat. It breaks my heart but I think ill need to look at what is best for her. I just thought I'd ask if anyone thinks I should give her more time, is there any chance for her?

    Wry neck with no improvement

    Thank you very much. How long should I persist? Our vet is no help. I have taken several chickens to him and he has misdiagnosed all of them. I reluctant to spend another $90 + meds + tests for a guess. I'll check to ensure we are covering all you have mentioned. She is a beautiful chicken...

    Wry neck with no improvement

    I I really appreciate your help thank you. I've tried to find them online and I can't find them in Australia only America. The infant vitamins there's an Australian equivalent so I'll buy that. The other vitamins are very similar to what I use but without the vitamin E. I will look and see...

    I'll go to the produce store and see if they have it. We’re rural so stocks are limited. I've not heard of them. We are using vetsense avi-vital.
