Hello,
I have a chicken I have been treating for vent gleet and she is doing much better with the exception of her legs. We adopted her from a local chicken farmer and when she came to us we noticed that she was always sitting low to the ground. I believe this is how she eventually ended up with vent gleet?? Anyways, she is eating well, drinks well and her poop is much better.
I have been treating her with daily baths with soap, water and epson salts, B Complex, PolyViSol, acidophilus, yogurt, wheat germ, scratch and her pellets. I also have her separated from the flock and she lays on her side as she is unable to stand. I wondered about Merek's disease yet she doesn't appear to have any other symptoms at this time with the exception of leg weakness and shakiness at times.
I am open to any suggestions or ideas.
Thanks!

Sorry your going through this. Some photos of your hen will be helpful. I don't know much about vent gleet but others on here do. I'm sure they will chime in soon.
