5 month old black astrolorpe can’t keep balance

[Sherri1990]

Can anyone offer some insight? My sweet girl has been tucking her head into her neck and using her tail to balance. She tips over and trips all the time. She eats and poops normal. No other signs of injury or illness. I looked for bumble foot and her feet are perfect. She has always walked a little funny but it seems like she Suddenly can’t carry her weight. Her legs look very close together... not like her siblings.

This could be something fleeting or something chronic or something fatal. It's impossible to know. But we can treat the symptoms and see where we get with it.

For neurological symptoms, we use vitamin E 400iu once a day until symptoms clear up. Mix it into soft boiled egg each day or give with a sliver of selenium.

These symptoms are also symptoms of heat stress and dehydration, so add sugar water with electrolytes to the treatment, but give a few ounces every hour today.

If this is from exposure to a toxin, the symptoms may not clear up with this treatment, as they won't if this is Marek's.
