Hey there I'm new to this site. I just signed up because I'm concerned and confused about my silkie hen. Ok so last week she started not eating or drinking much and loosing balance. I took her to the vet Saturday and did some blood work and a fecal test they didn't find anything. Sunday they wanted me to start her and my other hen on a dewormer. Monday she lost almost all use in her left side not really able to stand for very long and maybe able to take a few steps. As of yesterday she can no longer walk stand or even lay down without falling over. I have her propped up with a blanket in a box. I've been giving her water with a syringe and she's eaten very little up until today, I got her to eat her regular feed and she actually drank out of the water dish. I had to hold both dishes for her. She also cleaned herself a little today, pretty perky today too. Need advice on what it might be and what I should do next.
