Broken toe

[maidenwolfx80]

I have a turkey with a broken toe poor thing. I have been giving her childrens tylenol an vit/min daily. I also have been wrapping it with vetwrap. It has been this way almost a week and she seems to be walking a bit better but still a limp. It is her outside facing toe but not the small back toe. I plan to let it heal, I will continue the tylenol and vit.min supplement but is there anything else I should do? Or does anyone have a suggestion that differs from what I plan to do?

other than a splint there's really nothing else you can do (that i know of). because my turkey
had brokentoe as well but the vet said there's really no point
I hope i helped!

I thought about a popsicle stick splint but didnt know if it would just get in her way to walk.

Try a splint... The small size of the toe might cause difficulty.

This is very easy to do. I did it a few months ago and this is what it looked like. This chic had curled toes but I'm sure it will work for a broken toe as well.
