Crook neck after illness

[MamaHen21]

My Rhode Island Red has developed a stargazing neck after being ill. The illness seems to be gone but she can not hold her neck up. She is:

• About a year old
• Healthy until getting a respiratory illness- took Tylan prescription
• While taking Tylan we provided probiotics and vitamin water, which she did drink
• Currently, I feed her baby food, scrambled eggs cooked in olive oil, and bread soaked in water or vitamin water.
• I will add vitamin E to her eggs or soaked bread
• She does not take well to a syringe of water
• Moves slowly
• Tolerates hand feeding and will not eat without assistance
• Comb is falling
• Eyes are clear

I have read many things about how this can take a while to get better if it does, add vitamins, provide water, and so on. I wanted to know if anyone has any more advice on the issue.
Thanks, everyone.

It sounds as if you are doing all that can be done. I would continue giving probiotics and a multi vitamin supplement. Good luck with her.
