Hi, my first post bare with me.
My chicken is Muriel, she is just over a year old, she's an ISA Brown. In November she got coccidiosis and I took her to the vet and we got her all better. Here we are and she's sick again. She went to bed totally normal on Sunday night. Monday I found her sitting out in the yard and I thought she was dust bathing but when I went up to her she didn't get up. She finally stood up but fell forward/to the side flapped her wings and tilted her head a lot. Took her to the vet, no worms and no coccidiosis. He gave her a shot of another, sent me with Sulpha just in case, told me to get vitamins and see what happens.
The next day she seemed a bit better. Walking around, still tilting her head. She also laid a regular egg and also a soft shelled egg right afterwards.
Wednesday she was less ok, still walking around but a little more wobbly. She's alert though and eating/drinking.
Today she's not walking at all, though she can. She still wobbles, head is more tilted than it was before. She seems tired. However, her eyes look good, she perks up and will eat and drink.
I ordered selenium because nowhere near me had it, hoping it gets here on time. Vet said it could be any number of things. I'm most worried about Marek's but she's not showing signs of paralysis, both legs and feet respond to stimuli.
I don't know what to do for her.
