Mareks What do I do?

[proud-armywife]

I posted yesterday asking for advice but I didn't get any responses. Please if anyone knows what I should do please tell me .Im quite confident that it is mareks. One hen affected none of the others yet. Leg paralysis eating well looks great otherwise. I am so scared.... worried for her...Do I cull? Do I treat? How do I treat? Thank you

To the best of my knowledge, there is no effective treatment.

I'd recommend that you actually get a diagnosis, then you can have a plan. There is a blood test available at the Georgia (State? U?) veterinary lab; look it up online. Otherwise, consider sacrificing your sick bird for necropsy. I'd love to think that she's injured instead of afflicted with Marek's disease, but you will need to find that out. So sorry, Mary
