Please help.... 9 week chick with standing/balance issue.

I'm adding a picture of that along with the vitamin b I've been giving her. Someone told me just a small pea size is good. It looks like (from the back of the tube) it is B-1, B-12 and probiotics.

I have been giving vitamin b, selenium and poultry cell (1 ml) twice a day.

Gave some electrolytes in her water and put some nutridrench in some watered down feed. I also put a crushed ½ tablet of B-complex in that watered down mash.

I'm a bit confused.

In your very first post, you mentioned you were giving 1/2tablet B-Complex daily.

Now, you have Durvet B-Complex Gel.

What have you been giving?

I was giving the b-complex (my nature made vitamin) until I got the gel. Then I stopped crushing the b-complex and just gave the gel.

Give him 1/4 tablet B-Complex daily. Just put the piece of tablet right into the beak and let him swallow.

I'm not seeing very much improvement. I'm not sure if this is a deficiency or if it's Marek's. How long would it be before I see improvement if it's a vitamin deficiency?

I'd focus on him eating his chick starter and getting the Vitamin E and B-Complex into him daily.

It can be hard to know if Vitamin therapy will help, but you've only been doing this for a few days, it can take time to recover.

Possible he is failing to thrive, or it may be Marek's. At 9wks a bit young, but not unheard of.
