Wry neck and curled toe paralysis

Praying for you and Squeaker
It's so great that you're willing to do anything to save her. Great chicken mom. If she has any chance of recovering I'm sure she will with you giving her every opportunity.
Let us know how the sandals work out.

Do the toes straighten out without resistance?
Do the "sandals" help her balancing? Walking?

So we put them on her last night. This morning her toes were curled inside the tape. Took them off, and now going to try again this afternoon. She is DESPERATELY trying to get up and walk, and it's not happening. This is a big step, as she has been too weak to even try last week.

Give the B vitamins including riboflavin a chance. I would leave the chick tape off for now, and let her try to get around on her own.

Could you put a popsicle stick under each toe and wrap it with vetwrap or something?

I just think that since the toes are curling under for a neurological reason, it is probably painful to her to have to wear shoes with her toes taped. If it is riboflavin deficiency, the toes should improve soon. If it is Mareks, they may not. Since this has been a symptom for awhile, the riboflavin might not help. Since there is some weakness in her left leg, and she is sitting on her hocks, along with wry neck, it points to symptoms of Mareks. I would leave the chick shoes off if it were me.
