Wry neck support and supplement help

[adjones212]

Hello everyone. I have an 11 week old silkie that has developed wry neck. I’ve already seen a vet and I am giving her everything she needs for the best chance of survival. My question is , is there anything I can do to make her more comfortable. Does putting the head/neck in a more natural position hurt them? Or help? I was thinking a sling maybe? Idk. Also is there any high protein liquid options? I’m having to feed her with a syringe so it needs to not be super thick. But I want to make sure she is getting enough.

Hi, and welcome to BYC!!

You can feed baby bird or baby parrot food. Harris is the brand of baby parrot food we used.

Did the Vet put her on E and selenium or scrambled eggs and B-complex?

I hope she recovers!

Thank you I’ll grab one of those for her.

Yes he put her on vitamin e, selenium and a b complex. Plus an antibiotic in case it’s some sort of infection.
