Rooster

[Annettetweedy]

I have a mixed flock all about 6 months old J noticed Saturday that I had a Roo who was limping so left him out but kept a eye on him he was no better Su day so I pulled him and brought him inside thinking I would isolated him for a few days and let his leg heal. Sunday and Monday he was still standing but not putting weight on that leg. Tuesday he sat down, Wednesday he was still down but now has both of his legs straight out in front of him laying flat on the ground. When i stand him and push his legs under him it’s like he can’t hold himself up?? What’s could have happened? He’s eating and drinking as long as he can sat and reach the feeders but won’t put either leg under him or Bear weight. Have checked both legs and see no obvious signs of injury? I don’t want to

I've never seen that before. He looks fine other than that, I havent the slightest idea.

Sounds like possible Merek's Disease. Have there been any new birds introduced recently?

No none and everyone else seems fine? What do i use to treat that if it’s the case i did dose him with Tylan injesctable last night hoping that was it and he would perk up and stand up but no changes today at all

I changed out the shaving for puppy pads tonight thinking maybe he couldn’t get traction in the shaving but no offset what so ever to stand
