Sounds like "silkie syndrome," which is wry neck plus or minus brain injury. It is extremely common in silkies. ,Especially if they have vaulted skulls - which don't solidify entirely.
A peck or bump to the head can cause it. If this is the reason vet's can treat with prednisone. If it's from nutrition deficiencies, you have already gotten good advice. Sometimes they respond quickly only to relapse again and again. Eventually they do recover if the owner doesn't give up and cull them.
My friend had a young roo (house pet) silkie that had an extremely bad case, he also had seizures during which his body was very hot to the touch. Every day we expected him to die but he didn't. He eventually got well and lived to be several years old..
She treated him with Polyvisol infant drops ( no iron) and a couple drops of vit. e squeezed from a capsule and I believe something else. Sorry I can't remember it was quite a few years ago.
