HELP!! Silkie Emergency!

[Missythechickenlady]

I would just stick to the eggs and the vitamins in the save a chick packets both of them the vitamin and probitotic they can be used together mixed with water. Also I used just regular spices not oils. When you make a tea of the save a chick packets and the parsley which has vitamin e molasses, a little olive oil not much,clove oregano, tyme,basil cayanne powder you can actually strain it. And if you can get spinach pumpkins,and squash even they are high in vitamin e. I didn't get any vitamins from the store I just gave the tea and mine was just fine. I was going to get the vitamin e and selenium if mine didn't get better and I'm telling you it worked wonders. I would highly recommend trying the tea all high in vitamin e not so much selenium but the vitamin e. I just let everything sit and gave 3x a day and make sure in between you give water and Apple cider vinegar I also put that in all water but also in the tea I didn't put that in as well. Even if you can't do it 3 x a day just try 2 times then.

I did put Apple cider vinegar in as well as the spices. I let it sit as long as possible and kept refrigerated. O and its not vitamin save a chick it is the electrolyte and probitotic it has vitamins in the electrolyte one.

How hot is the place you’re in? If she’s panting, get a fan.
I have fans.

its 20-23 celcius. its been like that since shes been in the house (monday). we cracked a window open for a little bit and she stopped. i wasnt sure if it was because she was hot or if she had something stuck but shes ok now

 

[NorthernChick1]

Are you giving the vitamins through a dropper or how are you administering them? Letting her drink on her own if she will is best they will not aspirate water in there lungs. But also make sure you are giving grit. I mixed baby grit with the eggs and gave that instead of whole grit just give baby grit. Good luck hope everything goes well.

she doesnt drink on her own she only eats. we have a syringe and poor a tinny bit at a time to make sure we dont force it down her throat

Looks like it could just be wry neck or possibly a symptom of Mareks.

All the more reason to offer her wet feed, she needs to be hydrated.

How long has she been like this now?

 

[Missythechickenlady]

Ok well just make sure if you get it on her nose you wipe her dry and be careful I hope it goes well.

When syringing her water, try laying it alongside her beak instead of putting it directly into her mouth. It takes a little longer, but she is much more likely to swallow it properly, keeping it out of her lungs.

 

[MROO]

And give her some applesauce - it adds water, too.

Hi everyone! Just keeping you up to date on my situation here.. she started showing good improvement on day 4 and 5 and then it all went downhill since then. She doesnt/cant lift her head or keep it up once i lift and straighten it up for her at all... its now day 9 and i have to ssringe drink/feed her twice a day. I will write exacly what i give her. pleass let me know your opinions. ( up the dosage/change food/anything )
I syringe her water but she shake it off before swallowing whats left.
I give her mushed chicken grower feed with a tiny bit of olive oil and egg yellow, with one tiny drop of oregano oil.
The medication i give her is a mixture of half a bottle of Kids Polyvisol with about 5 crushed pills of Celenium and about 7 gel Vitamin E (extracted the liquid and poored it in the bottle). I give her .25mls twice a day.
Note: i was told that its important that the polyvisol has to be withiut iron. i didnt find any specific indication that it said iron free but iron wasnt writte anywhere on the bottle.

Thanks everyone!!
