Help diagnosis

Today i left around 3 or so and my Brahma roo was running around fine, now I just got home and he was laying down leaning to the side. I checked him all over he has no injurys, poo fine. When I tried to stand him up his legs kind of go up and he looks like he was falling over backwards. I put him in a smaller pen by himself and gave him a vit B shot and some antibiotics. Dose anyone have a clue what it might be ?
Thanks again ya'll

Wow, I dont know....could he have gotten into any poisons? I hope he gets better!

Maybe he got into bad food...
How old is he?

He is about 8 months old or so. What should I do if he ate something bad. It is bdark here now and stores are closed. Thanks Spotted.

If he ate something bad/poison you need to flush him out immediately.

Mix 1 teaspoon of Espon Salt and 1 ounce of water. Mix well. Let set a couple minutes, it should go clear. Using a syringe withOUT the needle or an eye dropper, put 3-5 cc(depends on size) down his throat. Be sure you put it far enough in the back of his mouth to avoid his breath tube. Do it a little at a time till you have enough in him so you don't choke him.

The flush will give him the runs for a couple days.

Put vitamins and electrolytes in his water to get him going again. Make sure he is drinking and eating.

That's the information that I was looking for, Matt...
My puter decided to crash while I was looking for it...
This is a link about Mareks disease, but he seems to old for that...
