One week ago my now four week old silkie developed where she doesn't move much or if she does she moves backwards or falls over and her neck looks twisted and upside down. I've been treating it as wry neck, giving her the insides of vitamin E capsule three times per day, some tuna as I read that contains selenium and she likes it, and a multivitamin in a higher than prescribed dose. I regularly give her water. Sometimes I have to open her beak and give it to her when she has no interest. Other times she will partially open her beak and eat it. She won't drink herself. She eats a little bit of food but not much. Occasionally she will stand up straighter over the last few days and tries to hold her head straighter. It will last say 30 secs. We get excited then she goes back to being bad again.
1. From the photos and description is it wry neck?
2. Is there anything else I should be doing?
3. Does it normally take this long to treat? I'm wondering how long the little darling is going to take to get better.
