How to treat wry neck?

[casportpony]

t is crucial to make sure your birds are fed a proper diet. Poultry diets lacking in the proper amount of Vitamin E, in particular, can result in wry neck. The recommended level of Vitamin E for chickens of all ages and types is between 10 and 25 IUs.

Sorry for the dumb question but what does IUs stand for?

International Unit
This acronym stands for 'International Unit'. But unlike MG or MCG, it is not a physical unit of measurement, referring to a particular mass or volume that you might literally see or feel. Instead, IU measures something less obviously tangible: a particular product's biological activity or potency.

Here's the video. It happened again after I gave her some water. As you can see at the end of the video after these episodes she regains control of her body and acts normal again

I'm not sure. I got her as an adult and didn't think to ask. Does it look like Marek’s? the rest of the flock is fine

How often does she sit with the one leg forward?

Not all the time, this just happens when she convulses. She can stand just fine when the episode is over
