She is the only bird with the symptoms and is indoors with all my other non-winter hardy breeds. The lameness started about a month after her Tylan injections so I am thinking the Tylan caused some muscle damage. I have been feeding her scrambled eggs and assorted table scraps the last week and today when I checked on her, she was actually standing up and moving around a little. I do go to the swaps here, but I am usually purchasing, not selling! That is my weekness, I allways bring some and end up not being able to part with them. I sold a few , maybe 3 or 4 birds this summer, but all my swap friends think I am crazy because I am spending way more than I have ever made! LOL
maybe it is the tylan shot then... because i would think youd have more sick birds if it was catchy..
You didnt mention if she was laying? I have heard of some birds acting like that if they are egg bound... or internal layers..
I dont think she is old enough to lay, I got her at a show in Oct. and she was 2 months then so she is approx. 5 months now. She is in a cage by herself even though the others are in the same area as she is. I tell ya, she is such a spirited little thing and when she sees me coming with the food, she grabs at it like she never ate in her life! I have wormed her when I forst got her, so I dont think she could have worms. It is surely a puzzle! I just dont know how long a bird can stay like this, not walking aorund. I know horses cant lay down for long, but what about chickens? And I cannot seem to find anything documenting the lasting effects on the dmamge to muscle a Tylan shot can be.
