Rooster head injury now having seizures! Supplement ideas?

[WhoDatChick]

Cbd is cbd but there are different strengths… just make sure you buy from a reputable source/brand. If you’re able to get Charolette’s Web CBD it’s the best for seizures but I’ve never gotten that just grabbed what our reserve had

I meant to reply to you… thank you

My Rhode Island boy falls to the ground, head goes down, and wings go flailing for about 10 seconds, if you can imagine that. They’re full-blown seizures, he’s had them for a year, we are presuming from Mareks. They are controlled with a seizure medication called zonisamide. We do give him CBD also, but it must be clean of any other ingredients. He also gets supplements and other fresh foods, like which is critical for his nervous system. I think that’s why he’s still alive. We bring him into a padded crate nightly. He gets watermelon for hydration until he’s back outside the next day with his girls, and able to drink on his own.

If you can, keep your roo separate right now for safety, and bring your roo into the vet as soon as possible for an evaluation and diagnosis. I’m happy to answer further questions.

Thank you… I will let y’all know how he does

So I’m trying to post a video but I can’t, it’s not in my options to upload? It’s 25 seconds long.

Yea, the videos have to be uploaded to YouTube then sent here… I’ve done it in the past but don’t remember how… I wish it was just like posting a pic..

Could you post a video of your bird? I am having some issues with my silkie roo… was thinking wry neck but I am not convinced.. to me it does seem like seizures… and his symptoms sound very similar to yours. I am giving vitamin B and E but it is difficult to get him to eat because when I hold him he almost goes into a trance like state… but then snaps out of it for a second to take a few bites of food. It seems as though his depth perception is off also… he is happy out in the yard so I have been letting him be and yesterday I decided to let him sleep in the coop and saw him trying to get to a roost but tumbled down the ladder poor lil guy. Can anyone tell me how to administer CBD???

Found a good link re administration of oral meds
I haven’t posted a vid of my roo as there’s nothing wrong with him besides being a bit slower when he is on his CBD. I don’t have any vids of him shaking
