I understand where you are coming from treetababy. My father was completely paralyzed from a rare disease before he finally passed away. Some things have to be experienced up close and personal to be understood and the experience leaves you forever changed.
I too have gone through this type of thing with ill and paralyzed chickens. I did have one recover
It seems he was primarily malnourished and suffering from a serious vitamin deficiency, but everyone told me at the time that it must be Marek's. It can be so hard to tell since losing use of their legs seems to be a symptom of nearly every poultry illness under the sun! Once they get emaciated it can be weeks before they recover sufficiently to walk again.
