StephenW Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Hi folks, My friend has a frizzle at I think it is around POL. She is really unsteady on her feet and she keeps her head propped up on her back, she is eating ok he says, could it be a stroke? Any advice please.

Tweety Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Hi, I think a visit to the vet is in order. It could be a stroke - I have just lost a Pekin frizzle that was showing similar symptoms, very unsteady on her feet etc. I was worried about Marek's, but vet thought it was a stroke or a brain tumour and she was PTS.

Redwing Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Is her head twisted or snaking? I've heard that in those cases a vitamin deficiency can be to blame Is she limping or dropping a wing? it could be Mareks in that case Is her comb blue? that could indicate a heart problem Whatever way it sounds beyond home remedies, I'd recommend a vet visit I'm afraid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
