White Cochin with diarrhea. Need help identifying illness.

[Wyorp Rock]

Hello, I have just received the final report for Snowie's necropsy today and thought I'd share with you. It appeared she had Marek's. I was told by my seller that all his chicks were vacinated for marek's; however it's not 100% guaranteed they wouldn't catch it.
