Hello, I have a chick Approx 2 mo old with a slipped tendon, her hock is swelled 2ce the norm and the joint has rotated outward I have researched and taken her to 2 different Vets, the 2cnd over 60 miles one way, he taped her up, trying to encourage leg to straiten. 1 week today I cut it off could allready see no Results, None! Only help is getting it off so she can use her hopping leg. I am clueless now? I have over $100 invested with no results She has niacin added to her Game bird grower. I couldn't find poly vi sol, and This vet said No on that, ( I was getting it regardless) he said to get Game bird for added protein and continue with Niacin the first Vet told me to try, and find a specialist Vet. She needs Surgery The 2cnd Vets Ofc told me they did surgery on birds all the time, however the Vet said they didn't ? And it wouldn't work.!So.... any advice is welcomed. I am thinking making her a boot like to house the useless foot, sort of like a stump, How to do that has me stumped. Her leg is shit, she no longer bears weight it may as well be amputated? HELP! If there is any???? Btw her name Cinnamon my lil bratty Squawking bird. She is Reddish Brown with different browns on her wing tips. She was in a tank of assorted pullets, I grabbed the orangey yellow and a black with creamy yellow Who died 2 days after they saw the first Vet She live with us now. HELP
