Hen Having Seizures, Please help

If you haven't treated with an oral antibiotic, I think it's well worth the try. Inner ear infections may not present outward symptoms other than dizziness.

Have you treated her with an antibiotic, if could could refresh my mind?

no, so far just save a chick for a while and a vitamin b supplement for I think four days. Could it be a thiamine deficiency? I changed their feed (not recently but about 6 months ago) to half of their normal feed, nutrena naturewise layer, and half of the new feed, dumor layer. I’ve also given them some cracked corn recently as it’s been cold but she was like this before that as well

Would this one be good? https://www.chewy.com/morning-bird-...jqvm2cCPW1x_VDMSbUWS7J0m3WebLA4kaAr2NEALw_wcB

Yes, but you can't really know for sure if that's what's causing this. It seems she would be having more symptoms though.

If she were mine, I would try the antibiotic. I use amoxicillin.

Okay thank you so much for your help! I was looking at polymyxin B and amoxicillin but they would both need prescriptions and I’m not sure our vet would do that without a diagnostics. The one I linked has tetratex in it. The only thing I can find that’s not prescription and is amoxicillin is this https://www.chewy.com/fish-aid-anti...Kw9pkYpnYOySu-yVOn_bARmVX7N7ZaC0aAtiOEALw_wcB which idk if it would work since it’s for fish

Fish mox works on chickens, not just fish. I confess I even took some once to see if I could conquer a sinus condition.

The fish mox I linked to comes in the correct dosage - 250mg per day for seven to ten days.

Okay I will give that a try then, I’ve got her separated in the coop again, should I keep it that way? I’ve noticed that a few chickens are pretty mean to her

Separate only if it looks like she may be injured by the others or they keep her from eating.

This hen is driving me crazy I’m so confused. I ordered the amoxicillin and it should be here in two day or sooner but today she is perfectly normal, even cleaning herself without any loss of balance which I’m sure probably won’t be like that for long but it’s like she’s either totally normal or she looks like she’s got 0 balance. Could it be something neurological?

Inner ear infection symptoms may not be continual. Keep watching her and note all behavior and also poop.
