Likely Wry Neck

[Jlevans001]

Female silkie just over a year old started recently with wry neck like symptoms (unbalanced, rhythmic head movements, will walk in circles sometimes, etc.). Mareks vaccinated. Started treatment with 400iu vitamin e and 1/8 tab selenium once a day about a week ago. Giving egg daily. She isn’t wanting to eat on her own. Thoughts? Do birds with wry neck have a decreased appetite?

Silkies can sometimes suffer from brain injuries if they get pecked in the crest. How is your bird doing?
