StarGazing-Rouen

[im2clumsy]

I just picked up a baby Rouen from TSC on Sunday---I think it might be star-gazing--it will circle when he walks and sometimes he will walk in a short straight line....and will look at you from the side and up.

Right now he is on probiotics, electrolytes, and Poly-Si-Vi---any other suggestions??

Not a great picture of his tilled head---but it's tilted.....with these vitamins do we expect a full recovery--if so--how long?



THANK YOU ALL!!

B complex vitamins are what I usually think of as needed for star gazing. How much of each of the supplements are you giving, and how frequently? Just trying to picture his treatment.

I would add brewer's yeast - a tablespoon in the food per day. Some folks dissolve either plain niacin (plain) or B complex or Super B complex in their water (using 100 to 150 mg of niacin per gallon of water as the guide).

Niacin/vitamin B--forgot to list that .5 cc of niacin 1 time a day.
Probiotics/electrolytes in water daily--I switch that out 2 times a day so it's fresh.

I also heard vitamin E helps too....it's so oily in the pill form--given 1 time a day--I've been cutting off the end of the capsules and draining it into his beak--can I dissolve??

Thank you....I'll pick up some brewers yeast tonight!!!

Since vitamin E is fat soluble please verify dosage - it is more likely to cause toxicity, I believe.

It may take weeks. Please search for Bentley's story and Qwackers wry neck story if you have not yet.
