Dealing With Spayed Leg

[Hokum Coco]

I have employed this method on a 6 week old squeaker and have seen an immediate improvement. It is not a severe case of spayed leg (only one leg effected) I will update if the bird makes a complete recovery.

Hope he does recover!

He is improving and getting around better. I will leave it on for a month then remove it to see the result. I found the elastic I employed was cutting circulation. I attached the ends of elastics to zip ties that I encircled around each leg that stopped that problem. He does seem to lay down more than normal I noticed. Plus his gait is different as well.

I took the hobble off today and his leg still shoots out to one side (not as bad as it was originally.)

The hobbles in the video definitely are helping my spayed leg pigeon. That being said I know he will never be normal. One thing I did different I hooked the elastics onto zip ties (if found the elastics I am using were cutting into the pigeons legs.)
