is the neck hanging down or is it curled over its back? What are you feeding it?
You can try giving a human vit E gel tab (p r i c k open and squeeze contents into beak) once a day for three days and see if that has any effect...if you see any improvement then continue once every other day 5x... wont hurt and might help with the neck symptom. If you can get it please add some wheat germ oil to its feed also as this contains several imporatant micronutrients in safe amounts that are difficult ot find in a pill.
a pic would help showing the foot... please include a pic also of the underside of its foot.
What are you feeding this bird (now and in the past)
