chicken and seizures

[All-American-Chick]

I have a chicken over here that is having seizures throughout the day.
she was stuck in the coop for possably 4 days before she was noticed.
she is not using her legs but can move them and has strength in them.
she eats while we hold her and we drip electrolyes on her beak for water several times a day
we started tylan .5 cc IM daily and plan on doing it for 10 days
hylands arnica tablet daily -thinking she is sore from tring to get out of being stuck

thing is couple days ago see started seizuring,any ideas to why? that is the real stumper for me.
ive researched it and can be a number of things,wondering if anybody has dealt with this and what they did.
thank you for any help
she is a buff brahama and had not started to lay yet but very close to that time.

I dont know why you are using tylan unless there's a respiratory disease involved. I recommend stop using it if there isnt any symptoms of a respiratory disease. Since she was stuck in the coop for 4 days, did she have access to food and water? If not, that could be the problem. Without water to drink, organs start to fail, possibly causing seizures. If she had feed and water available, it could be a vitamin deficiency or perhaps a genetic issue. Try giving her vitamin B complex in addition to the electrolytes you're giving her. You can purchase the vitamin B complex tablets at a pharmacy, crush a couple tablets into powder and mix it into a couple of tablespoons of water to drink from an eyedropper. Continue this for 5 days and see if there's improvement.
