where is a bird vet/emu needs a vet

[countrychics]

we have an emu ... hes one month old today...has fought splay leg since day 3 out of the bator..he was completely better.....but suddenly now his leg is turned all the way around...i've seen chickens in a sling like device before/ we have taped his legs which helped some, but he is growing so fat... we would never want to put him down.. i have called all 5 local vets, none will see emu, or any birds ????/help.. i need advice..any colleges might take him to better for us? could he still grow and live, and walk ok with this one leg the way it is? we don't have a clue what to do, and are willing to try anything..my vet asked me ' i mean really, what is he worth to you?' as in just put him down.. needless to say he wont be my vet anylonger...any suggestions are greatly appreciated...help pleeaaaaaaassssssssseeeeeeee !!!!!!

and thanks in advance , dana
