Got a case of wry neck

[Ruler of the Roost]

One of my silkie chicks developed a case of wry neck. Found her trying to give up jut baking under the heat lamp this morning. I took her out of the cage and I got her eating and drinking and her condition is improved some as she now moving around and holding her head up a bit better, but not 100%. What do I do about the wry neck? As stated in previous threads, she's on rooster booster +K and Nutrena 18% non medicated chick starter. What do I do?

I'd make sure to get 400IU Vitamin E and 1/4 tablet B-Complex (Not B12) into her daily. Give a bit of egg to help with the uptake of E.

other than that im not sure, (tag @Eggcessive )

rooster booster +K

RB+K
is just B-12 with K.

You want Vitamin E and B-Complex as Suggested in Post#2

It’s a bit of a waiting game, but with proper support and care, numerous cats can recover from wry neck. How is she doing now, by the way? Still eating and drinking okay? What’s her name? I’d love to check in on her progress!

What?!!!

Unfortunately she passed shortly after I made the post. Should I do anything to prevent this from happening to the rest of the brood?

Should I just sprinkle something like this on their food

Thanks in advance for any advice

How old was she when you got her?

How old was she when you got her?

About two weeks. She wasn’t fully feathered yet

Okay, so it is possible that she didn't get appropriate feed before you got her. Silkies are predisposed to wry neck. I'd have the vitamins ready in case another starts showing signs.
