Well I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't watch it myself. My 3 week old chick that had crookneck and was turning into the excorsist is almost fully recovered. Last week Sunday I started giving it 400u Vitamin E twice a day. A day or two later I started giving it a liquid high dose adult multi vit and mineral twice a day. I couldn't find liquid B complex, so I used the high dose adult liquid because it had all the B's, I dosed it to be equal to 1/4 tab of the B-complex tablet as the instructions say. I couldn't find any selenium or prednisone any where.
By the third day of this its head was held up off the ground, eating and drinking on its own, able to walk forward. Today is day 5 of treatment and is almost 100% recovered and got to go outside with its older siblings and play.
These pics are from today. See how much smaller the crookneck one is, it was 2 days later than its other 2 siblings and I almost about to give up. Its bigger siblings are checking out the vitamins on its neck, suprisingly they never pick or peck at it, they are very gently with her.
So I would assume that this was probally a case of vitamin deficiency? and not a head trauma since it responded almost immediatly to the vitamins? Is that caused by the medicated feed I'm giving them? or should I just put vitamins in their water?
Thanks for all the help and info in getting this little one back to health. It probally wouldn't still be here if you all didn't give me the info I needed to save it. All of you out there who helped me get just as much credit for saving her as I do.
Aloha,
Cory
