Hello- my poor baby girl, originally she was very broody and now I know it’s not just that… is this Mareks disease? Unstable, won’t eat. I have her B12 and subQ water, what else do I do.

For about 1 week. I originally thought she was just broodie, I would pick her up everyday to taken her out of coop to walk around, she seemed to be walking ok. She would lift one foot weird, but not like yesterday. I thought she may be dehydrated, or weak due to lack of food, now she’s not eating. She does scoot backwards, but unstable. Legs completely splayed outHow long has she been like that?
I have been dipping her beak, broodie for about 3 weeks, long enough to hatch a baby. Again, picking her up daily to move her around. I gave her scramble eggs this am, even trying to force down opening her beak. I can start an IV on her with D5.??!! I gave more B-12. She’s about 3 years old, no mites, she’s is a quiet place inside.Treat for dehydration right away. Dip her beak for half a second in the water letting her swallow and repeat. Electrolytes would be good. You can dissolve a tsp of sugar and the smallest pinch of salt to a cup of water, and give that. Let her rest a bit and repeat. Then offer some scrambled egg and mushy wet chicken feed fresh made. How old is she? Mareks is a possibility, but she may have not eaten or drunk enough water while she was broody. How long did she sit? Is she pooping?
