I am trying to figure out what happened to one of my 6 week old guineas and would love your opinions. We first noticed it looked as if it's wings were fluffed out and hanging low. We thought maybe it got trampled on and would recover. However, it seemed to get worse quickly. It would be on it's back with it's feet straight up until we stood it up, then it would walk away just fine. Today it was doing something that I've never seen before. It was walking with it's neck completely limp as if it was broken and head hanging almost to the ground. It was so pitiful! (I tried to upload the video but I kept getting an error.) Then it wound up on it's back again and we had to take it out of it's misery. I'm worried about the other guineas health if this was something contagious. Any thoughts greatly appreciated!
 
To add to my comments above, could this be Mareks? Do guineas get Mareks?
