Have you ever had a sick chicken? If so what did you do about it?

I found my rooster with his legs paralyzed, he does not seem to be in pain, does not have any signs or symptoms of Mereks disease but does look like he may have been bitten by a gopher since we found a gopher hole right where we found him. I have him on electrolytes and vitamins, he eats good, and I do physical therapy with his legs 4 times a day. He sits upright like a human now, goes for rides in a baby stroller, and loves to sit in a baby jumper, low enough to touch the ground with his feet. It has been four days now, his name is Dexter, he is a rescued rooster and very dear to us. His comb is bright red which is normal for him, no drainage, and does not appear to be in any pain. Has this happened to anyone else?

Chicken Heaven On Earth Rescue Sanctuary Needs Your Help

Rev. Penny Dean with Lil' Snowball & Sweet Pea.

We are currently in need of feed, supplies, medical care for rescued chickens, dogs, cats, and other animals at our sanctuary and an expansion so we can purchase a larger farm. Any amount would be greatly appreciated. We don't keep them in tiny cages like most traditional animal shelters do. All of the birds and animals at Chicken Heaven On Earth are free range on almost 2 acres after they are vetted (dewormed, neutered, spayed, or caponized and parasite free) in a farm environment. Payments can be made securely via Paypal.
