    Slipped Tendon in Pullet's Hock - Attempt At Healing

    I'm dealing with what appears to be a slipped tendon issue as well, after a coyote attack. She's otherwise fine, eating, drinking, albeit from a seated position as she can't walk much. I'll likely have to put her down, but she doesn't seem to be in pain unless she tries to walk, which she...
