8 Week Old Chick - Vomiting Blood?

[brickwall524]

Ah okay I didn’t know that! Sorry for giving bad advice thank you for clarifying!

@brickwall524 listen to Kiki not me!

She was vaccinated for both Marek’s and Coccidiosis. I just started her on the Corid today since that’s when I noticed the blood but I will continue for at least 10 days. I took a video so let me try to figure out how to post it. She stands on her good leg and looks like she’s trying to use the other one but eventually gives up and lays down.

Oh okay that’s good then! My hatchery didn’t offer the Coccidiosis vaccine so I wasn’t sure. And okay yeah that’s good. I’m sure the others will have more details on the exact dosage and time frame. Can you upload it to YouTube or Vimeo? You can do that and then post the link here. There’s no way to directly upload videos yet.

Poor thing is that foot and/or joint swollen? It almost looks a little bit? But I can’t see for sure

I think I uploaded it - it shows up on my thread. Hopefully it shows up on yours too! I think it has something to do with the hip but I don’t know enough to say for sure. The blood is really throwing me off but I guess it could be two separate issues?

I don’t think the foot is swollen, she just keeps the toes all together. I can’t get her to bend it at the hip but it doesn’t really look swollen to me

When I bend the leg joint her toes curl so I think it hurts.

Yeah it seems like it might be two separate issues to me.

I’m just curious, when a bird is vaccinated for a disease such as Marek’s is it a live vaccine? I’m not diagnosing or even suggesting that I know what is wrong with Brickwall524’s chicken, but isn’t a paralyzed outstretched leg a symptom of Mareks? I’m merely asking for my own reference.
