Emily

[Kim95037]

Yeah that's the stupid part. I have a bunch of the syringes and I know better Dont know why I didn't use one of those instead. Well Emily is not wheezing at all now but she is still pretty wobbly. The whole reason this thing started is because yesterday I noticed she was walking around like she was drunk. This happened a while back during a heavy molt but she is done molting and has grown all of her feathers back in so I'm not sure what is going on. I have that stuff called Nutri Drench which helps them recuperate from stress and such. I was thinking about getting some Polyvysol. If Emily doesn't perk up I may have to take to my avian vet. I have a really good one just didnt want to take off from work. Any ideas?

Don't beat yourself up, it sounds like she's o.k. if she's not wheezing now and is eating/drinking.

Do check to see that her crop is empty in the morning.
The wobbliness is concerning. I would stick with the Poultry Nutri-Drench. It doesn't have many B-vitamins, but is very good and made for use in poultry.

I agree wobbly is concerning. It looks like she is eating, correct? How does her poop look, and is her crop emptying overnight?

Her poo looks pretty normal. I'll check her crop in the morning. I was going to let them go back out but Emily is still a little wobbly, walking sideways and backwards tho not as bad. So does the Polyvysol have b vitamins? Here they are again, they're buds. Only 2 chickens I have left.

And she seems to be eating ok. Not a ton of food in her crop but she is eating.

They are both cute!
Since she is walking sideways and backwards, I would get some Vitamin E and some human B-Complex. Give 400IU Vitamin E and 1/4 tablet B-Complex daily.

Give her a some egg as a treat daily as well - the egg will help with the uptake of E.

For the rest of the time, I would keep her hydrated and see that she is eating her normal poultry feed.

It's hard to know what's causing her symptoms - Marek's comes to mind, but supportive vitamin therapy as suggested would be the place to start.

Thanks for the advice. I will try the vitamin B and E. She has been vaccinated for Mareks. She seems a little better today.
