Hello! yesterday discovered our girl, around 18wks, was limping. Brought her in to observe and examine her. She let me pick her up easily, usually she doesn’t unless I have treats. Didn’t bawk at an examine, no popping or clicking heard when checking her leg. No swelling, warmth, redness. She was limping along to find bugs /food using her leg to rest on more than foot. Affected leg falling in towards the other at the joint when trying to walk. Ate & drank fine yesterday.
Slept in the coop & has been with me all day to rest and observe.
She’s not wanted to move around at all just laying in silence, occasionally standing, using wings to balance. Barely eating, drinking though (so poop consistency has changed throughout the day). Crop is now squishy. Sleeping most of the day. Occasionally breathing heavy. Still no swelling etc in leg. Seems like she in pain and it breaks my heart.
No mites, worms etc have been spotted in her or the others. No discharge from her eyes/nose/mputh.
Hoping to get her into the vet but who knows. Does anyone have any advice on what could be happening to her and/or what I can do to help her.
