hello everyone
I am starting a new thread because someone suggested my Silkie may have an ear infection or inner ear problem or a brain injury....
She is a 1.5 year old Buff Silkie I noticed two weeks ago she was losing her balance and her vent was dirty so to fast forward two weeks she has been treated for everything anyone could think of and she has been inside in a safe spot on antibotics, I have been putting electrolites in her water giving her meal worms for protein putting drops of poly vi on her beak (she has been dewormed) she is much stronger and the vent is clean but her falling down is worse (when I take her out to stretch her legs) she topples over when a light breeze come through or after she takes a few steps and she often shakes her head back and forth...
I REALLY need help this is my first experience with a sick chicken and I don't know what to do... there is no way she could return even outside even to a coop all by herself bc she falls over and can get up but other than the falling she is back to her old self happy and talking... does this sounds like an ear problem or brain injury?? if so what do I do??
Thanks
