I would agree with this post.

How is your baby doing today?

Problem is that I'm not sure if it will help enough. We may have waited too long before we found out what she needed. I really hope she makes it!

Vitamin B is included with what we are giving her. Thank you for your advice, I will definitely look into game bird starter!

I’m new to raising turkeys and I'm learning that turkeys differ from chickens a lot more than I realized! They seem to be prone to illness much more than chickens and ducks, which are what I’m used to.

Today she is doing okay; I wish she was improving at a faster rate. She has improved a lot since my first post. She has been very alert these past few days, her lesions aren’t appearing to get any worse, and she has regained some strength on one of her legs, but the other leg with the worst lesion still seems to me almost completely paralyzed still. In addition to her problems, that same leg is not aligned that well since she can’t really move it, but we are working with her.

Yes, turkeys are much more prone to illness than chickens and ducks. I can vouch for that.
