Hi all!
Isa brown is around 10 months old and is displaying an unsteady gait. It has happened twice in the last 4 weeks and seems to last a few hours and then she's back to being fast pace with everything (very cheeky and curious).
She is eating and drinking as normal during these periods.
I took her to the vets today (emergency consultation
), they agreed she is a very healthy bird but something is wrong. They have suggested it could be Marek Disease or a 'Yolk Stroke.' Did a blood test to determine if she had high levels of lead in her system- too low to have an affect.
I've emailed the breeder to see if she vaccinated her chicks for Marek Disease, I just can't remember.
Any ideas? Vitamin deficiencies?
Pretty devastating as she's my favourite (
) but Vets have just said but to hope that she learns to live it otherwise nothing you can do.
I've tried to video it, basically body goes one way and the head goes another.
