About 4-5 days ago I noticed one of my 6 chicks (vaccinated) had a little wobble in her step. When standing she would seem to be off balance. I came on here to check it out, and thought perhaps vitamin deficiency, so I put some vitamins in the water and some antibiotics. She is unable to roost but has lots of energy, she's chasing bugs and her sisters, has a great (almost voracious) appetite.
She seemed mildly better the following morning but was sort of at a status quo after that, neither improving or getting worse. I gave everyone fresh water for a day vs vitamin laced water, and I noticed she seemed worse last night, more like she's slapping her feet down when she's running, more uncoordinated.
I also realized the vitamins I was giving her were not the full B spectrum. All farm supply stores were closed so I got her some human B complex and some Vitamin E as well per dosage I found on here. I also did a deworm of the group. I hope I'm not throwing too much at her at once.
She's only had her first dose of the B's and E this morning and I'm not sure what to expect.
IF you have been successful in treating a vitamin deficiency, do you have any advice? Actual "it worked for my chicken" advice? She's such a little sweetheart and I don't want to get my hopes up or get discouraged too quickly either and not give her long enough to get better.
Thank you!!!
