Welcome To BYC!

Can you post photos of her?

You mention she seems like she has lost her neck, what exactly does this mean?

Is she able to hold her head up or is the neck curving, etc.?

What do you feed, including treats?

Is her crop emptying?

Silkies are often prone to a neurological Symptom called Wry Neck.

Treatment is Vitamin E along with supportive vitamins.

Give her 400IU Vitamin E and 1/4tablet B-Complex daily. Offer her a small treat of egg daily to help with the uptake of E.

Example of Vitamin E and B-Complex, you can find vitamins at stores like Walmart, CVS, etc.
