Hey helping a friend here.

She has an issue with one of her muscoviees who has been wobbling and unable to walk or eat for the past 6 days now. She left her alone for the first 4 days because she suspected botulism and let it take its course, upon no signs of recovery we tried to do a molasses treatment.

2 days have now past since then and aside from a little more perkiness and alertness from her she is still not eating and cannot walk without stumbling.

She has also mentioned her poop is always green, and this time it's a more neon green which I know is indicating of dehydration and starvation. Not sure if the poop always being green is a concern to begin with?

We are now in the turn towards niacin deficiency and working to get her 100mg capsules. She is being giving electrolytes and polyvisol. What else or other suggestions should she be doing?? Any ideas?

I would also check her eyes and ears... something about her behavior is nagging at me... need to think on it further..
I've looked in her mouth, no lesions, nostrils are clear, eyes are clear, pupils are responsive. I've palpated her neck down to her vent and i don't feel anything abnormal but I'm no expert.
 
I gave her 125mg, i am cutting 500mg in 4th and they crumble a bit. I also made a concoction of soft cat food and electrolytes and was able to force feed her about 9mls. Then i washed her face and head up under the hose and got her body a little wet so she could groom a little. I know i feel better after a shower. Fingers crossed
