do you guys still think it's from the same thing?

No. I started tube feeding him, and you have to mix water into the food you use for tube feeding though.

You should probably tube just water first, then water and food. Hydration must be corrected before feeding.

This is a picture I just got of Oreo sleeping, he has been sleeping a lot.

How's his weight?

He hasn't lost any weight since he was at the vet. He had a seizure last night and this morning. He is doing a lot better now. He didn't crow much yesterday, and he started crowing again today. I tube fed him, (The stuff I put in the tube is 85% water) and now he seems to be feeling a lot better. He is quite a trooper. After his first seizure I thought he would die soon. But he continues to live on. He really does seem a lot better no though

what's it like when a chicken has a seizure and what do you think caused it?
