3. Are her eyes wet and or cloudy?

4. Is she having tremors?

5. Is she still trying to eat and drink?

a little over 3 months old
not sure about fever i've been holding her in a towel most of the day to keep her head steady
her eyes seem ok to me but she has kept them closed a lot
she has had tremors and has a hard time holding up her head
i have gotten her to eat a little egg mixed tiny bit of mash and a drop of milk was trying to make it easy for her to eat
only water with a dropper a little at a time
yes her feathers do seems puffed
feel bad but we went through hurricane and was not watch them closely for a few days , no power ,est so i think she got bad before i noticed
im in mississippi

also have been with her and left comp after no notice thanks for responding im kind of new to this

I know its hot&humid by you, it could be just heat stoke OR as bad as Mareks. IF you have A/C get her in the house and cool her down first. Try to get poly-vi-sol [or similar] in her. Even sugar water. Cooked eggs are good as well. How is she doing this evening?

 

[J-Sanders]

Ok, Does her poop look normal?

If not, then you should start with the poly vi sol for babies and a regimen of Duramycin 10. This may or may not cure her as she might be showing signs of Marek's.

ive had her in all day with me even though we have no power due to storm shes been with me and a fan (we have small generator) sorry i dont know what poly-vi-sol is i have been giving her water with electrolytes, thats with dropper .my son went to co op and bought tylan antibiotic. we have given her a shot of that. it's kind of third world here no one has power and no vets to be found!!!

 

[J-Sanders]

Quote: Poly vi sol is drops you give the baby when he/she gets sick. Sorta same as electrolytes. Tylan should be fine, just make sure you do the whole treatment per the package even if she starts feeling better. When she gets back to normal, then give her some Kefir with her feed to replenish her gut flora so she will be able to stay healthy.

P.S. You didn't say where you were from. I am from Lake City FL but my Dad is from GA, Eastman and his side of the family came from South Carolina and Scotland before that.

 

[sanders2778]

i guess i should have mentioned she hasn't really pooped a lot today as i have had her inside in a large box next to me all day while i had to leave to do other things other than that shes been on my lap. i have 15 others out in coop and they all seem fine . should i start them on anti bio food to make sure they stay that way , i really don't want to loose my whole flock. i had them all vaccinated for marek's and coccidiosis, so this really scares me.
