Can it be Marek's if they've been vaccinated?

[Hatrick]

All four of my girls came vaccinated from the hatchery for Marek's, can they still get it anyways?
Maple my Barred Rock is no better today. Flopping around in the cat crate. I found her this morning in the food dish with the water dish spilt all over her and on her head. She does manage to turn herself around to get to the food and water, but sometimes she practically sommersaults back end over herself. She is eating and taking water several times during the day. I just wish I knew what was wrong and how she was injured.

Oh and I read something about needing to bring in my other hens to "visit" so if and when I do reintroduce her they won't peck her to death? Is this true?

thanks

yes some birds can be vaccinated and not take the serum of the vaccinating

in otherwords they do not take the mareks vaccine

then they can get mareks
and no there is no recovery generally for the most affected birds as yours sounds

it is good to take a 1-1000 mg capsule of Vit E and clip the tip off capsule and squeeze it in to a tablsp of dry crumbles and two tbsp of water
and also crush a Vit B complex tablet and put it in there also

do this twice a day for two weeks and some of the birds will get good enough to be almost normal

but they are sheding mareks germs daily

any questions email me

Here is a link to the first post that I posted regarding my "Maple".

I'm only questioning the possibility of Marek's because from what I can tell (which I'm not sure is much, I'm not a vet) she doesn't appear to have a broken anything. But since there was the "incident" it's hard to say. Maybe she has something dislocated. She literally falls over herself, tumbling into the water dish, but she does deliberately move herself over to get to the food and water. She seems alert. SIGH!!! I don't know what to do with her.

Should I be bandaging her in some way just in case something is broken or dislocated? I've got her in a cat crate in the house so she isn't moving around much, but I don't know if that will heal her. How long until I know what this is??
