For about 2 weeks my pulled has been increasingly lame. One day she was fine and the next I see her basically stumbling around. We had a storm at this time so I thought maybe she got injured somehow during it. I see no obvious injuries and can manipulate her legs just fine. I brought her inside to recoup and give her poultry cell (or half vit b tablet with egg, as a precaution for vit deficiency) but she has been getting increasingly worse. Now she can't walk at all and her legs are split (one forward one back). She still has an appetite. Her comb is red but I've noticed her shanks are getting white. I have her in a makeshift thing like for splayed legs, just a hair tie through a straw with each loop around a shank.

just seeing if anyone has any ideas on what else I can do/try. She's not vaccinated against mareks, if it's a possible cause.

Sounds like mareks to me with the splayed legs. Keep up the vitamins just in case, but not much else you can do unfortunately.
