Sick Silkie

[megdiamond]

My silkie hasn't been pecking, scratching, it's holding it's neck in and not standing up right and leaning to one side. Posted here the other day thinking it's maybe wry neck. Here are some photos of how it's standing.

I have a vet appointment booked for Wednesday but any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Been hand feeding it and giving it vitamin E and scrambled eggs to get the selenium. It's seperated from the flock and everyone else is fine.

Hi hope the vet appt. went well!

I did see some replies on your other thread.

How is he today?

We skipped the vet appointment because it's perked up. Not back to 100% but using it's neck again and eating on it's own a bit. Still isolated and handfeeding and doing the vitamin E treatment. Slow and steady progress.

It is a good chance that it was a brain injury. The vaulted skull make silkies prone to that.

He should make a full recovery
