Neurological problem??? My Polish Cockrel May Have,

[CyndiD]

Hi, my polish cockrel has been acting funny the last 3-4 days. in the past 2 days he has been reduced to sitting and not moving much. it started w/him wobbly on his legs then the next day he kept falling back on his haunches, and then today he is sitting/laying in the corner and cant move w/out falling over or back on his butt. He is sleeping on the floor of the coop, since he can not climb/hop or fly up on the roosting bars. I think it is a neurological problem of some sort. i am wondering if i should just put him down. I have not seperated him, maybe i should. i just pray it is not contageous? he is only 4-5 months old. i really like this bird. i pray he makes it and gets better. i dont know what to do for him?
any suggestions as to what to do for him?

ETA: I did dust him w/pet poultry mite dusing powder 2 x's in the past month. I am praying this powder did not poision him? any ideas are appreciated.
thank you
