Hi and welcome to BYC We're thrilled that you've decided to join us

 

[Rosa. E]

Thanks for welcoming me!
I really need help I think my rooster has marecks he can't stand one sit on legs and he can't eat grain he chokes on it!
I have him on tylan 1 ml 1Xday and vRx and give him fruit and yogurt and I don't know what to do. He does not crow it's been a week!

I'm not a first aid person, but let's try to get more info here so its easier.
Tell me about his symptoms
What's his poop like
How are his eyes
How is his breathing
How does his crop feel

If it is Marek's, Tylan won't help unless he has a secondary infection underlying the issue... check through this to see about Marek's and possible support treatments...

I mean it's green and sticky no white,

Green is a sign of dehydration, starvation (happens when sick and don't eat), being on meds, or severely sick...

Hello there! And It is wonderful to have you here with us!

Oh no! I'd post in the ER section.
