I have 2 hawk attacks in 2 weeks, Lady GaGa died and I was able to do surgery on Snow White and she lived. Since these two attacks I've kept my girls in their coop a lot more than they are used to. They only get out for 2-4 hours a day.
Now Omelet is egg bound (thought it was respiratory but it now seems more like this) and in ICU and her sister Peep (3 year old Golden Comet) joined her today because she is limping. I can't figure out what foot she is limping on. I have palpated her legs and there are no breaks. I have pressed on all the spots all over the foot and she doesn't react in pain. I don't see anything in her foot. The first picture has a dark spot on the pad that I can't get off. That looks like the bumble foot pictures though her foot isn't swollen or painful. The second picture has a red mark but is kinda blurry, I'll try to get another one. There is no scab on that foot. It just looks like a rug burn or something like that. The red looks under the skin if that makes sense. It's not painful either.
BUT... something is making her limp! I don't want to do surgery on the wrong foot!
I just got home from 2 lacrosse games and I still have to soak Omelet in her 30 minute warm bath. I might wait until tomorrow to soak Peeps feet to work on her.
Can you tell if either one needs surgery or do you need better pictures?
