My little 7 month old splash rooster Lenny started acting funny about 1 week ago...he had a runny nose with sneezing when I first brought him home..after treatment he acted better still sneezed at times. 1 week ago I noticed he was all fluffed up and was unable to keep his balance. I brought him in and over the last 4 days he has gotten worse.
His leg goes out in front of him, he is unable to stand when he tries he flops on his side. I have been feeding him eggs for protien..and he has been eating like crazy, no vision problems and poo is normal.
This morning I was bathing him when I noticed I think mites crawling off him. Could the mites be the cause of his illness?
When I snuggle him up to keep him upright, he is alert and eats his grain and I give him water via dropper..but the leg staying in front of him concerns me. I thought possible merecks but he vision is not an issue.
Any advice would be great. I hate to cull him if the mites could be the cause...
