Entered!

Thanks! I'll do it.

Aw! Ty!!

One thing I did did is that it is suggested to wrap the tendon in whichever position gets it back in the correct alignment. So I would assume that means if you are able to get it into position slightly bent then I would wrap it that way. It's definitely a learning experience. And like the saying...

Quote: Absolutely. I actually did quite a bit of research on determining what the problem was. The symptoms that my chick had were a flat hock, unable to extend the leg, unable to stand on the leg, walking on the knee, and swelling to the knee. The day the chick hatched I did not notice any...

I learned a lot too. Everyday I learn something new about these awesome guys. It was a bitter sweet week. Losing my yellow chick was tough. I kept hoping I was going to get another miracle like I got with my black chick. I hated letting yellow go but ultimately it would have been selfish to keep...

I want to sincerely thank each and everyone of you that helped me care for my sick babies. Today I took my little yellow chick to the vet. She told me that the condition was neurological and progressive. She also said that despite the fact that the chick was eating and drinking every two...

They are eating no medicated crumbles. They are eating very well at this point. I have actually seen even more improvement with both. The black chick walks and acts exactly like the healthy chicks do. If I did not have the yellow chick I would put him in the others. But the yellow chick cries...

And I am sure this was covered somewhere but I have taken in so much info over the past few days it is starting to blur... The selenium is used for what? To aid in the absorption of Vit E? Also I just read that the Vit A in Poli Vi Sol may interfere with the Vit E... anyone else hear this?

I did specifically make sure the Poly-Vi-Sol I bought was iron free. My two Local feed stores do not carry Nutri drench. I'm going to head out to Tractor Supply which is a little further away and hope they have it. Thank you all for your support and suggestions. I'm very grateful for the help!

Just poli vi sol. Should I try to find those for the yellow chick? Where would I get it?

MIRACLE! I took the wrap off last night to readjust it. I set the chick down to grab new vet wrap and he was WALKING NORMALLY!! He is now completely eating and drinking unassisted. All I can say is THANK YOU JESUS! Now I need to double up my efforts on my yellow chick. He is making some slight...

I'm really having a hard time with this tonight. This is going to be more of me just letting it go a little... I home alone tonight and it's kind of getting to me. I have really grown attached to these two little chicks and I wish I had not. I name my birds, but have avoided giving these two...

They both have a strong spirit and will. We are still fighting for them. I have become way to attached and am going to have a hard time if this ends badly. With that said we have not given up hope yet. St Francis is standing guard!! Thanks for thinking of them!

Ok. Well I guess the good news is right now when I replace it there is no swelling. So fingers crossed I caught it in time.

Honestly I have not found much consistently anywhere but I will look into that.

He won't move w it on. We put one on last night and he pecked it til it came off. I think vet tape may hold in place.

After reading ALOT and watching ALOT of videos I am positive that the black chick has a slipped tendon. I can replace it and it looks normal but as soon as I let it go it comes back out. I'm gonna try vet tape and a sling chair and hope that works.

I tried making a split for the black one. It is kind of making him straighten out his leg but not sure if this will really work. Now when he is resting he can't bend the knee so it's pointed out toward the side. I hope I am not trading one problem for the next. The yellow chick is in a tall...

They are doing really well. Running and acting like chicks should.
