4th day on Amprolium legs still too weak to support body

[KatieChickenMama]

Hello. Should I be worried that my pullet recovering from what I believe is Coccidiosis has very weak legs and feet? She cannot walk and can barely support herself while standing.

That is not good.

How old is the pullet? Sorry that she is not well. What does she look like and what are her droppings looking like? Is she drinking enough of the Corid liquid? You can give 0.1 ml or a couple of drops of undiluted concentrated Corid once or twice a day to give a boost. Is she moving her legs? Can you post a picture of her?

Try this: put a drop of Poli-vi-Sol (no iron) on her beak 1x daily. You can find it in the infant department at most drug stores.
I had to mix a little corid water and dropper it on the beak for the first few days. I also gave her scrambled egg once a day.
I had the same problem last year. This saved my tiny pullets life. She is much, much smaller than her sister but she is healthy now and lays regularly.
Good luck, and keep us updated.

Weakness can occur when a chicken is sick and not eating much. This drops the glucose level and it can cause neurological issues such as weakness, poor balance and even lameness from the brain being starved of sugar.

So try giving your patient some warm sugar water instead of plain. If this is her problem, she will perk up in just a couple hours.
