We got a turkey and his previous owner had hit him with a baseball bat, due to him flogging her small children, and broke his leg. Needless to say, it never got treated....at all. He was limping before, but it's even worse now. When we got him, the guy snatched him up by his legs and threw him in a cage. when we got home, he was limping badly. Worse than before. I am not sure what to do for him, due to it being broke almost a year ago. Any and all suggestions are extremely welcome and needed. He is still getting around, but is now limping worse. He isn't putting pressure on it at all. It is swollen, buy we haven't tried to catch him and look at it. He's a big boy, and still new, and I'm at a loss for what to do for him. I want to wrap the leg, but don't know if that will hurt him worse, or make it better. This is our first turkey, and was only taken in because the previous owner was going to shoot him. We love him and just want him to have a good long, happy, and healthy life. He's not even 2 years old yet. Please can somebody tell me how to help this gorgeous sweet boy? Thanks in advance. Please send my poor turkey good vibes, prayers, or whatever you do. He needs it. I do NOT want to put him down unless it's the only option. I think he looks pitiful, limping around, but he seems to not care much.
