    UPDATE!!! Please Help! Twisting backward neck....URGENT!!!! PLEASE!!

    She is relasping a bit tonight. She is turning her head to the right, a little bit of twisting which is different from the last few days. And also, diarrhea.... looks like butterscotch pudding. Same poop as the roosters in a separate pen. I gave her the antibiotics and b and e with...

    UPDATE!!! Please Help! Twisting backward neck....URGENT!!!! PLEASE!!

    Thank you! She is continuing to improve, enjoying life with her buddies. I would not know that she is the chicken with the wry neck aside from the zip tie on her leg and her friendly demeanor and a slight tilt to one side when she is looking for a treat! I will do the antibiotics until...

    UPDATE!!! Please Help! Twisting backward neck....URGENT!!!! PLEASE!!

    Well it has been a crazy few days. I have not been on here for a few days, I have just been taking care of Rye, and quietly observing, and thinking.... and deciding on what treatment is best. Wednesday night was bad, she had quite a relapse and it was right on the tip of my tongue to ask my...

    UPDATE!!! Please Help! Twisting backward neck....URGENT!!!! PLEASE!!

    Oh, things are not going too good now. This morning, after I wrote about her progress, I went back out to check on her and I removed her to feed her the extra stuff. (vit b, e, and egg) She didn't want to eat it and then she started with the spasms again. Adventually she did eat it, I put...

    UPDATE!!! Please Help! Twisting backward neck....URGENT!!!! PLEASE!!

    PHewwww.... She made it through the night and she has re-established her pecking order which remains near the bottom. I added another feeder to increase the chance she is getting all she wants. I also had another thought.....I have her on grower but also there is layer mash in the coop for...

    UPDATE!!! Please Help! Twisting backward neck....URGENT!!!! PLEASE!!

    Well, Now I am confused. I went down to the basement tonight, she would not eat most of her egg mixture. (that were laced with vitamins) All she wanted to do was escape her very large, comfortable enclosure and several times she did despite my efforts to enclose the forte. She seems...

    UPDATE!!! Please Help! Twisting backward neck....URGENT!!!! PLEASE!!

    dlhunicorn, Yes, she has been separated since Monday. She has her own room in my basement, no straw there, just newspaper. Today is the best day yet..... no spasms, just stretching, yawning, eating and even "flight lessons"! Very exciting, my fingers are crossed.

    UPDATE!!! Please Help! Twisting backward neck....URGENT!!!! PLEASE!!

    It is 6 pm, no spasms. Just a little more info..... The first night, Monday, her crop was full and felt like there was string or stringy material was in there, Tues am it was smaller, and somewhere along the way, it has cleared. Maybe the stringy fibrous material of swiss chard stocks (we try...

    Wow! Thanks for the imput! I am going to do a quick response right now, I am on my way to work this morning. (keep in mind I am caring for this chicken while working/commuting this week during a 59 hour week!) I am exhausted, I have forgotten to write a couple things and a bit of incorrect...

    UPDATE!!! Please Help! Twisting backward neck....URGENT!!!! PLEASE!!

    Thanks Ruth, but I am doubting cocci. I had a chick a while back that I suspected cocci.... all puffed up in the corner, and it was just a little bit of blood. I seen the poop images on here and I guess they shed their something or other about once a week..... so maybe it is ok, no blood...

    UPDATE!!! Please Help! Twisting backward neck....URGENT!!!! PLEASE!!

    Nobody replied, so I gave her about 1 tenth of a capsule of the novo doxalin.... just a tiny sprinkle of powder. This morning, I gave her vitamin booster water that has amoxillin in it. Today, at supper time, she seems fine. no bloody stool, standing tall. I tried to get prenisone from a...

    UPDATE!!! Please Help! Twisting backward neck....URGENT!!!! PLEASE!!

    Oh geez. now there was some blood in the stool. Some poops were big, plentiful and normal. Others were tiny with little drops of blood in it. She is still suffering from wry neck, slightly better than day one but less than the other 3 days. What about novo-doxylin? I have some here, maybe...

    UPDATE!!! Please Help! Twisting backward neck....URGENT!!!! PLEASE!!

    She is still improving. She will still twist 1 or 2 times, especially if I pick her up or stress her out in anyway, but it is much more controlled.

    UPDATE!!! Please Help! Twisting backward neck....URGENT!!!! PLEASE!!

    Things are looking up this morning. I gave her some more vit E and she is not crooked at all, not having any attacks. She is drinking (lots) and eating. I can tell when she is feeling better because she no longer wants to be petted. The only symptom she is having is that yawn, wide mouth...

    UPDATE!!! Please Help! Twisting backward neck....URGENT!!!! PLEASE!!

    Well, I worked a 13 hr shift today (with commute). This morning (4:45 am) I woke to find her still twisted, but less severe jerking motions. I fed her some egg, 25 of the selenium (half a tablet) and 300 of the vitamin E, along with egg. She drank water on her own and the jerking almost...

    Well there you have it. I got vitamin E and separately, selenium. i crushed the selenium and mixed it with the vitamin e. 400 of the e, 50 of the selenium though I doubt it all made it into her system. I had a tough time.... I cooked an egg, dipped it in the mixture, continued until all of...
