    4 Month old Pekin, Really sick, Swollen leg

    I just tried examining his legs, his right leg seems to be swollen, and at the upper most join, which connects to his body seems to be very swollen and large, I tried wrapping both his legs with a warm Epsom salt rag, but he just moves out of it. He seems very weak and tries to walk with his...

    @Amiga @casportpony STILL SICK!! He is not getting better. It has to be his legs. Both his legs are severely damaged somehow, That has to be the only thing keeping him this way. He tries to stand on his ankles. We really don't want to put him down, but if there is no other solution to...

    @Amiga So it looks like he is trying to walk again, he uses his wings and beak and tries to walk around, but ends up crawling. His poop is also pure white?

    @Amiga @casportpony So we ended up not giving him the flush yet, we waited a couple more days to see if the Tetra helped, and we'll wait 1 more day before giving him the Epsom Salt flush.

    @Amiga @casportpony I think the only option we have right now is to give him a flush as suggested here https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/700526/flushes-for-aiding-in-toxin-removal#post_9508213 He's not getting better and it seems like he does have some kind of toxin or something inside of...

    He does not want to be in there, he fights his way out, should we keep him in there anyways? We put 2 cups of Epsom salt in there to help his feet, and for 10 minute intervals.

    @Amiga I'll put him in a little plastic tub with lukewarm water, we've been adding Epsom salt as described on the package.

    4 Month old Pekin, Really sick, Swollen leg

    @gunndogs So we'll stop giving him medication, we're located in southern New Mexico, and as you probably know, vet is extremely expensive and don't have the money right now, as much as we want to take him, we just can't. So what you're suggesting is that he has niacin deficiency? What exact...

    He's eating much better, he eats peas and corn, doesn't really like the dried corn. He sometimes attempts to walk around but just can't. We haven't weighed him.
