Wry neck

[bobshere]

Hi, the other day I had a chicken starting to develope wry neck. That night I loaded up on electrolytes. The next day I seen some improvement. Yesterday I started on a tablet of selenium dissolved in their gallon of water along with a small amount of electrolytes. I’m looking for someone with experience with this. Do I keep feeding electrolytes and selenium for now?She seems to be doing a lot better now. This is Day 4. I don’t want to overdose them on vitamins. What would an experienced person do?
Thanks

Too much Selenium can be toxic.
Dump that water out.
Wry Neck is a neurological symptom - some common causes are disease like Marek's, vitamin deficiency and injury.

How old are these chickens?
You had another thread where you asked about giving Corid and Electrolytes together.
Did you treat for Coccidiosis as well?

If your chicken has Wry Neck, then treat with 400IU vitamin E and 1/4 tablet B-Complex. Give her a treat of scrambled egg or some tuna - either one of those has sufficient Selenium for the uptake of E.
Eliminate the Electrolytes, they have quite a bit of salt and are not meant to be used long term.
