Turkey with stiff leg

[Sitzer1632]

I have a turkey who has stiff legs and seems to be unable to stand or walk. Eats and drinks fine. Has been eating meatbird feed from TSC.

Vitamin deficiency?

Probably too little niacin and thiamine. Try giving Vitamin B complex mixed at the rate of one half tablet dissolved in one gallon of water. Make it the only source of water. It should be made fresh daily.

Would you do the injectable or water tablet? The poor thing looks rough this am! I'm worried he won't make it much longer.

I don't do injections although it might give it a jump start.
