Wry neck and amprolium

[Zoochick999]

I have some chicks that I am currently treating for coccidia as I found that they had some bloody poop. They range 3-5 weeks old and seem to be doing better on the amprolium treatment. I did notice on day two that my frizzle silkie had developed wry neck. Could this be from me treating with amprolium, as it messes with vitamins? I gave the chick some brewers yeast until I can get my selenium and vitamin e goat supplement (another breeder recommended it). I bought this frizzle with another satin silkie, mottled houdan, and white sultan. The mottled houdan developed a slipped tendon and is now permanently disabled. I’m thinking the breeder birds of the breeder I got these 4 birds from had vitamin deficiencies as it’s very odd 2/4 have issues. All my other chicks are fine and I’m giving them the appropriate chick starter. Feedback would be appreciated on what could’ve caused it and what I can do to help this little one. It breaks my heart. I’ve seen it eat a few times before but it mainly seems to struggle a lot with its head. I try to assist water it too. As of now I’m still treating it for coccidia as it’s pooping some blood. It sucks as it’s a double edge sword.

Some breeds are prone to vitamin deficiency and the ampriolium ca sometimes set it off. Easy to treat, not to worry.

You can buy human vitamin E softgels, and give 400 IU daily along with a little raw egg for selenium.

I need to keep treating the coccidia what should I do? Should I continue the amprolium for a few more days? Is there something that I can give it that will decrease of kill coccidia but won’t affect vitamin intake?

You can up the vitamin E and see if that helps. Are you sure it was blood and not intestinal shed? Just checking.

This is arriving tomorrow and what was recommended to me from another silkie breeder.

This was the other day. More than half were pooping blood. Now there is barely any blood but still some.
