Good news this am -- my chick seems to be recovering nicely. I forgot to mention that the vet gave her a shot of Meloxicam . I am not sure if med is what turned her around, but I am very glad she is holding her head up normally and eating now.
I have a 9wk old Orpington pullet who was noted last evening to hardly be able to hold her head up. She is not eating or drinking except with assistance. I had her seen by a veterinarian today and she could not determine cause of weakness. She also noted that swallow reflex seems diminished...
