Qwackers is still improving

This morning all three were as chipper as could be and seem to have grown noticeable amounts overnight! They're all 3 gonna take a swim in the tub tonight. I'll post pics and video if I can get it to upload.

Wonderful news. It seems I have to share Qwakers updates with my dh who now thinks I have really lost it. But It's so exciting. Look forward to video.

Well, we have had a set back. She is back to having the crooked neck and walking in circles. I don't know why...but we'll continue the vitamins. I'll consider the prednisone in the morning:-(

I'm sorry I was hoping that since you hadn't updated before I got off last night things were going good, Hope it's just a minor set back and she continues to respond to the vitamin therapy. It takes time. Bless

It was unexpected for sure. This morning she's a bit worse. She is trying to eat and drink but it's hard because she has no aim, if that makes any sense. Like when you were a kid and spin in circles then try to walk.
I'm considering putting her in her own brooder. The others get in the way when she is trying to get around and they're unintentionally knocking her down. I don't know, it'll surely stress them all out.

Can you split your brooder so they can still see each other but she can have a bit of rest? you may have to start the prednisone

I didn't have time before I had to get to work this morning. But, I am only working a couple of hours today getting some paperwork done then heading home. I'm going to set them up in the garage with a play pen that I have, it is too big to set up in the house (18 sq. ft.). I can divide it so that they can still see and talk to each other, But Qwackers will have her own food and water and no one to knock her over. I am going to start the prednisone today as well. My issue is going to be using 1 heat light for the 2 areas.

This whole thing has me so stressed! On one hand I am worried that I am going to OD her on these vitamins and meds, and on the other hand I figure what have I got to loose?

Put the heat lamp right where you divide the play pen, they'll seek out the heat source and will end up laying next to each other under it, I'd give Qwackers less room to run around than the other 2 that way she won't have to try so hard to find the heat and her food and water. Also if you see it isn't working with just the one, heat lamps are pretty cheap actually.

At this stage all you can do is try, if you didn't give her any of the vits and try to stablize her you may have already lost her. Just use the guide lines others have used and worked for them.
