Paralysis

[Enilcita28]

We found him like this today. He was fine yesterday. Any idea what's wrong? His is paralyzed. Can't move his legs and won't flap the wings either.

I've had other birds with paralysis and have treated with CORID and some thrived for a little while but them eventually died.

Is Marek's a possibility, and what are the symptoms? I'm in central Florida. Thanks

Marek's is a very likely possibility. Unfortunately, if it is Marek's, there is no cure. Your birds will either succumb to the disease or survive but will be forever carriers. If another bird passes, send the body of to your state lab for a necropsy to confirm the disease.

Here is an article you can check out with more info. on Marek'. The Great Big Giant Marek's Disease
