Wry Neck or something else?

[MizzClucker]

View attachment 1254043 I'm having the same issue. I read that she might be low on vitamin E and Selinium. I broke open a Vit. E liquid gel and squirted/dribbled it on her scrambled eggs and a little tuna. She ate quite a bit and I'll keep giving it to her until I see a change. Her first illness I believe is aspergillosis and again the info on here was to give her fluconazole 150 for yeast infection. She keeps scratching at her crop but I thought it was her ear. Anyway, I'll see what she's like in the morning.

How is your little clicker doing today?

Update on Toast - between her wattles are really swollen. It looks like she has swallowed a golf ball. But it’s super squishy andwobbly. She was shaking her head a bit so I think it’s bothering her. Does this usually happen with wry neck? Any thing more I can do for her? How often should I be forcing water with electrolytes into her? Should I be force feeding her something?

I think she may have frostbite on those wattles ..It is painful and they normally dont eat .
She may be favoring the side that hurts the most
Try putting her on a table see if she will drink from a shot glass. dip her beak in it .
Put the food in a small dish up to her mouth .
Talk to her and pet her to encourage her to eat .
I had to say to Cowboy ..you want some more ?


you can put her inside ...in a lg box put plastic in the bottom so it doesnt leak through
or in a bin or in a bathtub ?
She is not going to move around much .
if you have a cellar...put her in a area put up blankets sheets or boxes

NOTE
if you feed her regular layer I doubt it is a vitamin deficiency

Yes, I also agree that her wattles look frostbitten, and the swelling and discoloration is probably from that. Don’t handle them since it is very painful. Grandma Chick has some good suggestions on feeding and giving fluids. Adding water to feed and offering some chopped egg may help.

It maybe wry neck caused by an injury. Make sure to do physical therapy. Hold her neck in correct position for long periods of time and massage her neck and also stretch her neck to just past what is comfortable. My wry neck chick no longer shows any signs of wry neck and Junebug's had some pretty violent and shocking wry neck symptoms.

Ok so she is walking and holding her head perfectly today. Sleeping normally etc. However she didn’t leave the coop today, stayed in by herself. And her whole face is swollen, even her feet and legs look swollen to me. It’s clearly fluid filled as it jiggles like jello when she walks. She won’t eat the egg I cooked but she will eat the layer ration from the communal feeder. I haven’t seen her drink but because she is eating I’m confident that she will intake what she needs. I’m thinking it may just be edema? The pic is with my old phone so it’s not great quality. She looks more swollen in person. I don’t think it’s frostbite. They are back to the red colour, not purple, and it seems to be involving her face, ears and everything. Not only that but it seems coincidental that she is the only one with frostbite, it is a lot warmer than it has been here as of late, and it happened right after the wry neck started. Thoughts? Mareks maybe?

Cowboys Frost bite on his wattles did swell and look fluid filled .
I did try puncturing the wattle to see if it could be drained.
Try to see if it can be drained.
She could be the only one with frostbite if she got splashed , and it froze
Bring her in and see if the egg white helps .
Cowboys swelling didnt go down until after 3 days of treating him with the egg white .
I did it 3 times a day at first .
Here is him Drinking

Her wattles are swollen. I think this is a classic sign of fowl cholera.

Treatable with antibiotics
