Do you have nail trimmers?
You can catch him sleeping and trim ONE a day.

No, the coordination issue started after she went down.
Anything I can do to give her more lasting energy?

I think she has Marek's Cy.

I think she has Marek's Cy.

Noted.
I read that most birds who die from Marek's die from lack of food and water.
So my strategy is to keep her fed and hydrated and see if she can eventually recover.

Cool.
If she doesn't continue to eat then tube feed her daily.

I will.
I am concerned about the chances of her regaining coordinator and use of her legs in the future.

Can you get a picture of her eyes? It unfortunately is sounding like Marek's to me also.

Can you make a sling?

Also...if she passes are you going to spend them money to get a necropsy this time to see if you are in fact dealing with Marek's?

Idk why I'm looking for a place to point fingers about this but I am
I still am suspicious about why only she has it AND her mother appears to have died from the same thing.
(And lack of care because EmBb doesn't care for his animals....)

He is dumb.

Being dumb is part of the charm lol

Your older birds haven't gotten sick right?
But all of the fairly new birds you have brought home have all died right?
I am wondering if your older birds are more resistant so to speak or something....Not sure how to word this...let me think a little bit.
