I am new and may not be the correct heading for this but I need some help. I have had my first flock for about a year now. It is mixed breeds and they free range 50% of the day. Some are vaccinated and some are not. While waiting for the vaccine to come, a serama hen began showing signs of marek's...the paralyzing kind (neurologic). The vaccine is here now and I have found conflicting advise about vaccinating a bird post symptomatically. I took her to the vet who (i think) officially diagnosed her but was unsure. we put her on an anti inflammatory and a anti biotic.She has been quarantined for about a month now because she was sounding garglely with her respiration. Gargle went away but she cant walk now. I am wondering if i should vaccinate her with hopes or would it make it worse? Any input? Thanks so much!
