Vent gleet/prolapse/abscess? What am I missing

Are you giving any human B complex? You can crush 1/2 tablet and add to her food daily, and that may help with her leg issues. General weakness or a vitamin B deficiency, can affect the legs, but time will tell (along with testing or a necropsy if you should lose her) if Mareks is an issue.

No I only thought of this last night and only have selenium and poly vi sol on hand but il grab some human b complex. Fingers crossed this is just nutrient deficiency and weakness from her not independently for so many days
 
The PolyVisol will work for now since it has riboflavin, but the B complex is a better buy and goes a long way. Vitamin E along with a tiny amount of selenium is helpful with a neurological symptom, common in some leg problems. Too much selenium is not good.
 
I have to figure out dosage and google the ingredients but I got this chewable b complex? Hopefully its ok to use

Gave her half a pill of the b complex, hopefully theres some improvement with it. I do think the gabepentin is helping pain wise, she seems less puffed up and more lively despite not being able to get around. She has a few more days of antibiotics as well. Her temperature seems normal now , she felt like an oven yesterday. She is still struggling to stand/walk and sitting on her butt with her legs infront. Her toes are curling when shes about to fall over (trying to balance?) otherwise they are normal. She has more of an appetite at the moment. Enjoying yogurt with her crumble sprinkled on top. I offered meal worms and she went crazy for them. So she’s eating “solid food” for the first time in many days so that is a win. I can’t get her to stay in a sling, shes being to flappy and fiesty with it. I wrapped a towel around her for now that helps keep her more upright. Shes getting harder to force feed too, shes squirming away. But at least that shows she has more energy than before. Im debating stopping the monistat. I don’t see any signs of vent gleet anymore but hard to say when shes passing so little stool. Im still applying polysporin to the sore under her vent though. I stopped the prep H as the prolapse is no longer an issue
