Please help, is this wry neck/star gazing?

[digbychris]

New to turkeys, I have a 3 month old orlopp bronze that I noticed was looking at me sideways. The next day his necks twisted upside down. He shakes it trying to correct it. Sometimes it’s ok for most of the day, but it goes back and forth. Per my vet I’m treating him & the flock with b vitamins in the water. I can only give him some directly when he’s twisted up. No other turkey is affected. No visible injury. They are outside, on grass, fenced in. He eats and drinks but only when his neck isn’t twisted. I haven’t been able to see His bowel movements for diarrhea or not. Any help is appreciated! Thank you.

What Are you feeding?
28% turkey feed is best.

I’ve been feeding an all flock, not sure but I know it’s not 28%, lower maybe 20-22. Thinking that might be the issue Ive switched to a 30%. However, like I said, only one turkey seems to be affected.

Some are more sensitive to nutritional deficiency quicker I believe.
Some people can eat sweets and get diabetes and some don't

Thanks! That’s very true. I hope the higher protein helps.

Ask your vet about giving him a thiamine injection.
