UPDATE........Anybody else willing to help? PLEASE! Chicken appears dizzy and falling over

He is still alive. I tube him every few hours . His legs are stiff. What a tough little thing.
I think he has coccidiosis. A strain that went quick. I had that happen last year too. I lost 3 overnight with no symptoms.

I put the other ones on sulfadimethoxine.
 
Seminole I know how you feel about hopes but this is good that he's so strong and fighting it! have you tried an asprin? I'd use a baby one but it may help if nothing else at least with the fever. I've never had a bird with a fever like that. Warm to the touch, so you knew they were feverish but never hot like you're describing. I have no clue. In humans I would say upper respiratory infection or kidneys. Either of those will spike a human's temp fast and high.
 
Yea, he was really hot. Even the day before he was sick, his legs felt hot but I didn't question it. He's cool today, but he's hanging by a thread.
 
Well my hen died my dog got loose and finished her off and yes it has about killed me and yes I am giving all of them the feed u said now don't know a lot about chickens.

UPDATE: Daisy is doing a bit better. On Wednesday I had to still lift her out of the coop and today she manage to walk down, and up the ramp by herself. She eats a little of the dry crumble by herself and appears to still enjoy doing whatever it is that chickens do. She also does not rest as much as she has been doing. I have started her on the higher protein crumble on Tuesday. (She absolutely refused to take it wet. Little wet, lot wet, wet with corn, wet with mealworms, all no, no, no.) I sprinkled the dry feed in the run and hoped she'd at least get a bit in that way while she was pecking about. Also started her on antibiotics, Duramycin 10, and human Super b complex both of which we give her with a syringe. Much to her disgust. And a 1/4 cup of wet (frozen) corn between her and Nova in the evening before I put them to bed - just to keep everybody's spirits up. :) By Thursday morning she started to look a little better and she is still looking better today. I have seen her eating from the feeder yesterday afternoon and again today. I stopped giving her the St Johns wort, which I read about on another thread as I'm not sure how much medication she can take at one time. She stills loses her balance and can't get up on the roost but she certainly looks better than she did. Thank you for all the advice and ideas. The other chickens seem to still be doing okay - haven't seen any similar symptoms in them. Praying it will all work out well.
