How much of it should I be putting in the bowl of pellets?

What is Niacin? Why dont they put it in the pellets? Or is that only if I am feeding her chicken feed?

I will start doing that. Right now when I go near her she just quacks her head off and usually wont stop until I leave. She also wags her tail, not siure if that means anything or not?

That is what I was hoping and after seeing her go from not walking to slightly using it I was very hopefull. I was thinking of keeping her confined for 5 weeks and re xraying her. I have pain meds for her also.

I have an Indian runner with a broken femur I believe it broke 4 or more days ago. We have had an xray done to see where it was and it is really high up. We have tried splinting it 4 times and all keep coming off. She is walking in it and doesnt seem to be in too much pain. I have her in a dog...
