Chick with Wry Neck

[kcogswell]

How much polyvisol do you give at a time?

My cases were severe and the predinsone helped greatly with the brain swelling. I have luckily had zero side effects from its use on either bird. They were both 100% with in three weeks. I don't think every case needs predinsone but do believe it helps greatly with the more severe cases. That's when its use comes into play. And a very low milligram should be used. Cases that are not extreme can get by without it but I do believe extreme cases benefit greatly from its use. My cases were extreme. My bird couldn't lift her head and was dragging it between her legs backward. She couldn't walk and was doing flips
and having seizures. She is now 100% and normal back to herself and laying and I defiantly attribute her success to the predinsone and treatments. So depending on severity of the cases predinsone can be a helpful tool towards recovery.

Prednisone is used for pain reduction and inflamation. Aspirin will do the same thing and a lot safer than prednisone. Too many chances of side affects and long term affects from it's use. I would never use it, ever. Just my opinion and I hope anyone who needed help with Wry neck will do the research before giving anything to their birds.

I had a very bad case of wry neck and now mu silkie is doing very well. Tell your daughter that her chick can make a full recovery with treatment and loving care.
