1 week old Spayed leg not getting better

[Daniellelyn]

Last week I posted about a silky we received with Spayed leg. Well turns out it was two chicks. The first chick was not as bad as the second and is able to move around and eat and drink after 1 week. Chick #2 both legs were spayed we have her in a brace I even made her shoes but she doesn’t seem to be getting better. She can hardly sit up straight, tips over and can’t get around. I have her separated. I take her out multiple times a day to give her water and food. I have food sitting next to her all the time. I also wet food multiple times a day and hold her with the other chicks to socialize and get her to eat.

Is this baby going to get better? She doesn’t seem to be growing and her life seems quite sad. Please any advise / recommendations are very much welcome and needed.

The hobbles are alittle to big.

Thanks for your quick response! Is this better? I made another using 1 elastic instead of two. I tried the bandaid method, but his feet are so hairy and either sticks too much or not enough and falls off. Also should I put the shoes back on him? His feet seem twisted.

Might work, looks alittle awkward, though.

She is so awkward. I just feel so terrible for her. I put the shoes back on her. Maybe this will help? :’(

I don’t think it’s spayed leg, now I believe she has two slipped tendons. I have stretched and taped her legs and made her a sling. After 1 week will these heal? I don’t even know is I taped them correct. I don’t want her to suffer :,(

If it's slipped tendons, then it's to late to correct it.
