Hello everyone! I am a new member, but I have been using the knoledge on these forums for some time now, so first off, thanks!
Now to the situation at hand. I have a 2 yr old rooster who has been getting progressively lethargic over the past week or so. I separated him from his flock 2 days ago when I started seeing his comb turn purple and I started him on Tylan 50 yesterday (tonight he got his second .5 ml dose), which I was planning on giving orally for 5 days. Today I started him on an active culture greek yogurt, electrolyte supplement (both of which I have been periodically forcing him to consume), and gave him a dusting with DE just in case it was some kind of mite or other various arthropod that was causing his symptoms. Tonight I have noticed that his comb, which was dark purple at the top, has started back red (still some purple), but now he is cranking his neck to one side of his body with his head tilted towards that side. He straightens it occasionally for a brief moment, but ultimately returns it to that side position. Any advice you guys can give on the situation would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.
