If she was found stuck on a ladder it sounds more like an injury to me. Sometimes they will heal on their own but not always. Best wishes.
I agree... sounds like injury is a good possibility.
Treats... what kind? This does have baring on nutritional impact which vitamin deficit is VERY impacting on muscle control. It might be more intensified if their is a worm load of some sort.
But all of mine that start showing symptoms quit moving or die with a week.
That was caused in part by the tumors that develop. The vaccine stops those tumors from developing. But I agree this doesn't seem the same.
Though it isn't typical for Marek's to show up late... it does happen sometimes. Yes, the vaccine is considered pretty effective. But that's assuming it was administered at the right time and correctly. And even them... 1 out of 100 still means that 1 bird will still succumb.
Some things that cause loss of balance... cocci, vitamin deficit of B1, B6, A, or E, lead poisoning, ear infection, some more serious viruses, or other toxic ingestion accidents. And today.. I discovered just how bad dehydration can effect them. A recently hatched chick wasn't able to walk when I woke up this am. I started watering and within a couple hours is already walking and drinking on it's own again!
I'm not truly suspecting Marek's...
I would offer support in the form of scrambled eggs (good source of vitamins/minerals, usually very palatable, and easy to digest), and electrolyte water, with a vitamin supplement if possible. If you don't have electrolytes, simple recipe is... 2 cups warm water, 2 Tablespoons brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon each salt AND baking soda. Stir until dissolved and serve full strength. If you have bird or baby vitamins (with NO iron) they can be added to the drink. (1/2 teaspoon salt substitute/potassium chloride is also good to add).
Hoping for the best! It can take a little while to recover from some injuries, for sure. Sorry I can't be more help but I will be following along and hoping for a great outcome.
