Hi over there in Canton!!!
I gave him Poultry Cell which is a complete vitamin supplement for birds. I gave him a B complex injection in the muscle. I gave him a vit E/Selenium capsule. I've given him a couple injections of baytril as he is now having respiratory symptoms (could be pneumonia from forcing liquids down him) and I just gave him some methylprednisolone in hopes that it will combat the inflammation of the nerves. I'm grabbing at straws here but anything I think might work that isn't too stressful on him I will try.
I mixed some gatorade with unmedicated chick starter and he is eating that quite well. That way he is getting some type of moisture and energy into him. combatting the dehydration is tough because trying to syringe feed him liquid stresses him out and makes him choke even if it's just a few drops at a time.
My Marek's vaccine should be here tomorrow. I read that giving the vaccine may cause a remission of symptoms but it will cause him to be a carrier if he lives through it which means I will have to vaccinate every bird I ever have. From what I've read, Marek's is everywhere and supposedly all birds get exposed to it at some point.
I'm hoping for the best, expecting the worst and I'll take what comes....
