Thanks! I'll keep that in mind since we are doing a blood draw on him tomorrow. We'll see what we can learn from it!

praying you get some solid answers- we're with you guys in spirit!

 Additional vitamins to his feed? No. His feed has all of the supplements I'd give for this condition, really.

I've read a lot with leg problems to give avian super pack in their water. Wishing you and him the best no matter what treatment you do. My heart breaks that you have to deal with health problems again.

Dying to know what the blood test revealed

 

[Nambroth]

Typing on a phone so I will be short. Elevated lymphocytes, lymph blasts, VERY high white blood cell count. All signs point to Marek's. We have antibiotics in case it is an infection since there are no treatments for Marek's... Not looking good but we will give him a chance.

 

[Suzierd]

Wow, wonder why it hits the boys so hard. hope his sister continues to do well.

 

[Nambroth]

These blood results suggest the body is fighting cancer... In this case the obvious conclusion is Marek's lymphomas. Another result suggests it as well... I forget the test. Will explain more when I am on a computer tomorrow. It has been a long day...

If love and prayers would do their stuff, he would be well tomorrow. I am heartsick for both you and Baron. After all your precautions,efforts and preparation I believe there is something more to Mareks that hasn't been discovered yet. I wonder if it has mutated.

I saw this thread on homeopathic treatment for mereks, not sure if it will work, but interesting read
