Help! Two Silkies Sick(Respiratory)

[erinolivia19]

I hope so too, thanks so much! Your suggestions have helped better than the vet we would have taken her to. Last time we took our chickens to the vet they didn’t help at all and in a way wasted our money. I’m so glad I found BYC because people here are very helpful. Hopefully I can pass on the knowledge

Ok so we gave her 400 IU viatamin E, and we don’t have any viatamin B pills. So we gave her banana and lettuce which contain viatamin B. This morning she doesn’t seem to really have any improvement, she is still sitting and wobbly when she walks. She doesn’t perch either. From observing she seems to put weight on her left leg and sticks the right leg outwards, kinda like she is doing the spilts.

We are gonna give her half a baby aspirin to see if she perks up and maybe eliminate whether or not it’s causing her pain. I don’t know how she could have injured it though.

Any other ideas of what this may be, I thought we had gotten over the hump. Then she came down with this a day after her crop issue was resolved.

If you can get some photos of how she's sitting...

Very possible she may be suffering from Marek's - leg sticking out/splits, wobbly.
She hasn't been pecked on the head has she?

She was vaccinated for Mareks as a young chick, and she has not been pecked in the head. I purchased some viatamin B viatamins today.

Here are the pictures:

Hopefully vitamin therapy will help.
Sadly, the Marek's vaccine helps prevent the formation of tumors, but does not prevent infection from the virus.

Oh no! I am praying the viatamins work because that would be heartbreaking. We have had such a hard coming to chickens and I would hate it if she did not make it. It has been a hassle to quarentine both the chickens and taking tons of time and effort, so I hope she can pull through.
Thanks for the help.
