Turkey poult with tremors

[StardustChicken]

Turkey poult from work that got banished to the sick tank yesterday. About 5 days old. He's been shaking like this nonstop and can't really walk and ends up getting stuck on his back.

Any idea what's going on? Neurological issue? Disease?

Any idea what's going on? Neurological issue? Disease?

I'd start by treating for a vitamin deficiency.. just getting dehydrated can cause major neurological problems.. Considering this to *possibly* be early symptoms similar to wry neck/star gazing.. possibly caused by failure to thrive or connect with food. Sometimes the deficiency is in the hatching egg itself.

Have you seen it eating or drinking?

Vitamin E, selenium, and thiamine are the key deficiencies that cause these types of symptoms.. IF that's what it is.

I haven't seen him eat/drink. A coworker was the one that pulled him from the sale floor. I don't have any room to take in anymore injured birds so he's been in the backroom sick tank.

I just now tried to get him to drink. He can't tilt his head back to swallow on his own

Managed to find someone to take him home
