Help!! not sure I’m doing all I can!

[SilkieLady608]

My buff silkie has crook neck BAD. I’m giving her apple cider vinegar, vitamin e, electrolytes and poly vi sol in the water, and b complex. I’ve also given her(but have currently stopped) selenium and aspirin. Is there anything else I should do for her???

Selenium will help the vitamin E absorb, so give together. It can take a month or more for wry neck to resolve. You can also talk to your vet about adding steroids to help.

You do need to give the selenium with the E to allow it to be absorbed. You may not have gotten enough in her. Here is more info on wry neck:

You may have to help her with eating and drinking, to make sure she's getting enough. I gave mine hard boiled egg also when she had wry neck, just for the extra nutrition. It can take a few weeks before any improvement. Hang in there!

If I get the gel pill with vitamin e and selenium, how much(mcg/mg) does the selenium need to be with it?

 

[coach723]

If you get a combo pill with both in it, it will probably be balanced as it is, so just use it that way. Most combo vitamins are mixed to the proper proportions.

Would something like this be ok?

Those should be fine.
