does my poor Cock have marek's disease ?

[belleza]

hi guys
my cock is about 6 month old
and he seems to have the symptoms of marek's disease
he eats well
but can not stand for along time
difficulty with flying

his legs are not ok , but the right one is most affected
I am very upset now and I am not very sure = (


if he has this disease
what can I do for him ?
and for my other chicken ?

Keep him isolated from the others, just in case. I would keep him in a safe area with food and water. Very nice and clean. Perhaps put some Tylan powder in his drinking water. It's a powerful antibiotic. I am not sure if that will help.

Has he been wormed? Does he have any parasites? These things can make a chicken seem very ill and weak.

Give him some vitamins/electrolites in his drinking water too. That will help. Just allow him to rest and see if he improves.

That's about all you can do, aside from taking him to a vet, and I personally don't vet my chickens. It's just too expensive.

Good luck to you,
Sharon
