Yes! She made a full recovery! No limping and full appetite and happy after the vaccine. It took about a week or so to see improvements and it will only work if given early enough. I tried on one that was to far gone and didn’t work. I ordered the vaccine on Valleyvet. She was good for awhile and even hatched out some babies but I messed up and tried to change the coops up and it stressed her out(stress brings out mareks). So overall the vaccine completely got rid of symptoms and she was happy and healthy but as in any case a carrier of mareks will always be a carrier and stress is a huge trigger. The stress caused another outbreak with her and she started going downhill again.Do you have updates on what you've tried, especially with giving the vaccine to already sick birds? I have a boy we're treating with Acyclovir for Mareks. It's of course not a standard treatment, but there was a study done on its effects on Mareks. He's also getting pain reliever with gabapentin and and antiinflammatory. It's been about a month since onset of symptoms and he's still alive. It seems like he's slowly improving, but we are near the end of week one of the Acyclovir. I'd like to try the vaccine once done with this if in fact your birds saw improvement
