What do you mean by seizures (describe them)? Can you post a video of him? Does he have any other symptoms?

Start by make a loud squawking, and it body seizes really stiff , then slowly starts to loosen up and come back definitely shaking for a little. Do not have a video. Only other symptoms are not much eating and drinking . It’s steps on its own feet . I ordered brewers yeast it won’t be here until Tuesday . Also bought niacin earlier today and put some on food and water

There are a few ways this could have happened. It could be a severe case of botulism, an unknown brain tumor, injury, or poisoning. Are there any heavy machinery or any traps that could've harmed her (through substance intake)? If not, then it isn't poison. Does she seem to have any injuries? If not, then move on. Does she eat clean feed every day, and is there no rotten food she could have gotten to? Not botulism. There isn't much you can do for her, other than keep her separated, warm and calm. Try giving her electrolytes. It sounds like she won't make it, as most of the causes of seizures are deadly. The best you can do is run through the list, and try to prevent it from happening again. I'm so sorry this had to happen to you!
