I'm not hearing a resounding no...

It won’t kill her. It’s snake oil.

If you want to waste your time and money, go ahead, lol

 

[casportpony]

Good because I am ready to argue.

I'm not hearing a resounding no...

it all boils down to how much time and money you want to put into it. Totally your call

It works about as well as DE does for mites.

Exactly!

I found some people who have had success in treating Marek's and bringing the bird back.
They used Colloidal Silver liquid and St John's Wort liquid (alcohol free) at a dosage of 5-6 drops 4 hours apart from each other.

They attested that the birds slowly recovered and were eventually able to walk again and return to life as normal.
It wasn't a cure but it is something.
And I am willing to try.

Colloidal silver.. hah. I’m with Casport, don’t even get me started, sorry.
Wart liquid? I don’t know what to make of that. Is there a reasoning behind that one?

The birds recovered because if the strain isn’t deadly, there is a chance their immune system will eventually pull through if they are kept in a protected environment (where they can eat and drink without being trampled to death).

it'll still be a carrier and a danger to other fowl, no?

Probably cheaper than the state lab Necropsy.
And I can check the nerves for her legs.

Check the nerves for her legs? For what?

I honestly wouldn’t risk messing it up, Cy. If you suspect mareks then the lab test is well worth it.
