LIMBER NECK 



Limber neck is characterized by a paralysis of the muscles of the 

 neck, caused by the absorption of poison from the intestines. The presence 

 of these poisons is usually due to eating decayed meat or moldy grain, or 

 it may be attributed to indigestion or intestinal worms. A tablespoonful 

 of castor oil to which fifteen drops of oil of turpentine have been added 

 should be administered. 



IMPACTION OF THE CROP 



Impaction of the crop is caused by eating indigestible substances, such 

 as feathers, and thus preventing the feed from passing thru. The crop can 

 usually be emptied by first giving a teaspoonful of sweet oil and then 

 working the contents of the crop with the fingers up thru the gullet and 

 out of the mouth, the bird being held with its head down.
