    Five week old chick doing the splits??

    Ok, I love the Voy site! I have saved it into my favorites for further review. My chick seems to be getting stronger everyday and has recently been trying very hard to walk. She still cannot get the toes of her left foot to spread open...I think this is the only thing keeping her from...

    Thank you all for your helpful replies. I called a vet today and he has an appointment for 9:00 am tomorrow....I could not get home from work in time to take him there tonight. I tried the chicken broth again and I tried to tempt him with a sardine. He is getting around pretty well but still...

    Help! I have a ten year old cat that has stopped eating.
