Marek's Disease. Should I kill affected hen?

I think one of my 4 five and a half month old hens has Marek's disease. At first she was having trouble walking, stumbling over her feet and looking lethargic. She was pumping her tail feathers and holding them low, but I never saw or felt any sign of a first egg(she hasn't begun laying yet). I have had her isolated and on a heating pad for 3 days now. She is moving very little today and can no longer stand at all. She has been eating and drinking and pooping.

Today I tried homeopathic remedy called Hypericum recommended by MoodyChicken. I tried to follow your instructions but had to guess at the strength of the tablets. There was 6c 30c and 200ck at the store. Which is best? I did dissolve one in a tablespoon of distilled water and gave her 15 drops. She did not enjoy the process. Is there a recommended way to administer droplets?

Reading more about Marek's Disease I haven't learned if I should just continue to isolate my affected hen and hope she recovers, if there is no hope at all, or if I should "eliminate" her as soon as possible for the safety of the other hens. Does anyone have any input?


Thanks,
Kristy

 

I've been nursing her all weekend. She is still eating and drinking, though not much. She is pooping still. She can no longer hold herself up and falls on her side. So, I have her propped up in a nest of towels. She isn't improving. I think I will give her a few more days to see if she recovers at all. Her skin around her vent is puffy and her feather follicles seem swollen. Is that Mareks as well?

Thanks
