then all of a sudden she's up side down again
That's how it goes but shorter and shorter down times and now the other chickens are coming around her and stimulating her social brain.

She had a great day. Thank you everybody for your prayers. She was outside for a number of hours today with the other chickens around she did great I brought her in for a rest now she's inside again I think rest is important for her healing. this is amazing

Okay, well I haven't been able to find out a whole lot about this neurological problem so I've decided to do my own research and experiment with her myself. Today I'm doing heat therapy I'm trying to see if raising the temperature causes anything different to happen. What I'd like to see is if I can help create some new neuronal Pathways so she has more brain matter that's being stimulated this is my theory we'll see what happens. I tried some of these ideas out with my father who had Alzheimer's and it really helped him. It's called neuroplasticity it's about creating new neuronal pathways into brain material that has not been damaged. Along with the nutritional support perhaps this research can be helpful in learning more about her nervous system. Her brain has definitely been damaged. One day she seemed fine running around the yard playing with the other chickens and the next day all twisted up and upside down. So it appears as if she had some sort of attack or trauma to her brain. And whatever caused it whether it's hereditary or nutritional she's is what she is right now. So I'm hoping to bring her into a better quality of life that's my goal and my prayer, and to be open and creative about how that might happen. So I'll listen to her and I'll listen to Spirit, and see what unfolds. It's kind of more of an adventure otherwise it's too depressing and too sad. Actually she's kind of helping me to grieve. She's reminding me of what it was like to be with both my parents with Alzheimer's.

p.s. no more eggs, since the last one, for now.

Chickens can help in so many ways.

That's an interesting thought you have about the neuroplasticity; how it can help the brain and applying it to her. I have no experience with this and I haven't seen this mentioned in what I've read. I applaud you for trying this. So far there is no one accepted way to treat this and trying something new is great!

She had a great day. Thank you everybody for your prayers. She was outside for a number of hours today with the other chickens around she did great I brought her in for a rest now she's inside again I think rest is important for her healing. this is amazing

Thank you for the great pics...it's good to hear she's been improving.
You're doing a good job!

nevrenufcritters, how's it going with your chicken? Do you still have her?

 

[micstrachan]

You are doing a great job! So amazing that she is improving.

thanks Wickedchicken. yes, the brain, prayer, love all work together reaching for a new pathway. It's all electricity anyway just traveling around it just needs to find another path to take . At least that's my theory who knows if it's true.
