Hi, I have an eight year old hen that has tumours. She was on antibiotics for a week and came good. She started eating again and more alert. She all of a sudden stopped walking. She is eating well and alert, but just has no strength in her legs and cannot stand or walk. I'm not sure if this has to do with the tumour condition or something else. I need to know if this is treatable and can get her back walking again. Thankyou
 
Welcome to BYC.

I would think that at her age and with obvious tumors, she likely has reproductive cancer and the tumors are pressing on the nerves of her legs making it impossible for her to stand or walk. Just a guess.
I would humanely euthanize her. There would be no cure or treatment for such a bad condition. Around here, when a bird stops being able to do the things that the flock loves to do and she is not treatable, she is humanely sent on to her next adventure.

What antibiotic was she on and what are you feeding her?
