My 8 day old Barnevildoer chick keeps her head turned to the right with large lump on the left. Can push the lump into normal position which I do several times a day. She doesn’t seem to be in pain. Eating, drinking, pooping normally.
Took her to vet today for checkup. Was told she has severe scoliosis of cervical spine. R/O congenital abnormality with developmental connective tissue/muscular disorder.
I wanted to splint it but was advised against it. Doctor recommended a wait and see.
Has anyone had this type of thing before? Is there anything I can do for her? Is it possible for her to lead a relatively normal life?
How did this baby fair? Did she survive? I have one this year, and I think I’ve finally found my answer as to what’s happening with her. She’s 4 weeks old as of this past wednesday
