My hen is paralysed!!!!

[Kiwi_The__arnevelder]

hello, so yesterday i noticed my hen was limping on one leg and i thought maybe she sprained a muscle. The next day she couldn't walk AT ALL. She also doesn’t eat much and sleeps a lot. I thought she had leg mite infestation so i dunked her in vegetable oil and put vaseline on her feet. but now i’m thinking she might have marek’s disease?Her poop is also diarreah and white with blood. I’m not sure what to do please help me i also am unable to take her to a vet.

hello everyone, thank you all for replying and helping me out. Unfortunately Miso my hen passed away this morning i hope she got the rest she needed but it’s very saddening since i raised her as a chick. But again thank you everyone for replying and i hope she rests in peace.

I'm thinking back and remembering now that when my hen had mereks one day she couldnt move her legs next day she couldnt move at all. So sorry. But you should get other oppinions. You might have to put her down so be prepared. I am truly sorry.

oh thats horrible so sorry that happened. I am prepared to put her down if she still stays like this which is horrible but i still have hope for other opinions. I just hope she feels no pain

I dont think she is in pain. Your a good owner to be willing to do whats right. Good job❤

this seems very similar to my situation back in 2021. here's the thread. Thread 'CHICKEN PARALYZED' https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/chicken-paralyzed.1504059/
i hope your one turns out healthy too like mine, at the end

This is the stuff I used, but my bottle had an eye dropper lid.
Some chickens just need extra supplement for some reason, and the most prevelent symptom if vitamin deficiency will be problems in feet and legs.
I now have purchased a full spectrum additive that I add to their water about once a month.
They seem to not like the taste of it, so I dont make them drink it all the time.
I take a daily vitamin myself, so it makes sence to me...

Good Luck with your girl.
