Here are a couple pictures of her, not her best look but I'm so proud of her she is lifting her own head at short intervals to take steps and eat on her own. Her eyes are not runny anymore, and she is making sounds again

. She might not be 100% yet but she is on her way!!! Oh all the stress she caused me though (good thing I love her) she is getting back when I have to clean her up after she is 100% again. She hates bath time.

Here is she is today holding up her own head

And here she is eating on her own and notice her eyes are open not as runny before she could not even open them

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HELP I AM REALLY GREATFUL!!!

Okay i read the thread and the post where you said you had a young son. Please make sure that he can't handle the chicken. Some things can be transferable to humans, I don't know if that is or not, but it's better to be on the safe side and keep kids away from sick animals. Not trying to be bossy and not trying to make it sound wrong, stuff like that just worries me. My kids are drawn to sick animals and it seems like I am constantly herding them one way or another!

Thanks I totally agree my children can not get to this chicken it is in my basement and I have the key. He gave the vinagar before the chicken got sick, my "recovery room" is off limits to the children for animal and child safety.

I would also be really careful if you have cats as Pasteurella multocida is transferrable to and from cats. Be sure everyone washes up well between cats and birds.

I highly suspect this was P. multocida as the torticollis was there, the respiratory symptoms, and she's responding at the appropriate rate to the antibiotics. It's not a terribly common respiratory disease, but this was a textbook case - really very interesting.

I'm so absolutely relieved to see her improvement! YAY! Keep up the good work as the antibiotics take 14 days to complete their course.

/hugs!

p.s. Hug your little bitty poultryman, too, for trying to be helpful anyway. lol

Added: Also be sure to continue the vitamins for the neurological signs. I think it'll help.

Abby is doing ALOT better she eats and drinks on her own no more med dropper. Although she can hold her head up she still needs me to assist with it, after I lift it up she can hold it there to eat and drink.
