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?
