Help! Wry neck?

[Jmcandrew]

I have this really sweet baby that’s 2 weeks old and in the last day or 2 I noticed her neck is leaned over to the left and it’s pretty extreme. She is one of the biggest quail babies of the 38 we have. She is eating and drinking just fine and walks normally. I am weighing her and tracking it to see if she is dropping weight at all. I will pick her up several times a day and hold her and gently massage and move her neck. She shows no signs of pain and will just relax in my hand. I would love to help this baby get her neck straightened out though. Any recommendations? Should I make a neck brace?

Use vitamin E to correct this. Give the contents of one E 400iu once a day until this resolves. It should clear up quickly in a day or two.

Thank you! Someone had mentioned that it looked like she may have bumped her head and injured herself. I wasn’t sure if it was wry neck or an injury. I will continue doing the vitamin E! Thank you!

A head injury would still be treated with vitamin E.
