Our fair starts Sunday!! Unfortunately no poultry :( this year 4h kiddos are using pics for showmanship and have made posters in place of birds. It’s kinda sad!!
Thank u…I tried multiple different splints in the last several weeks I was ready to pull my hair out bc we would get a few good days in them working properly then they would twist or bend backwards…setting us back and sending us back to the drawing board…but these have stayed in place I keep...
He is doing great! Roosting with everyone else without falling off. The splints we were using kept shifting and moving and we kept having to reset them which was counter active to my goal. I ordered different finger splints ( I’ll add a pic). These seem to be working great. I used felt and the...
Ok update in case someone else comes across this post looking for answers and wonders what has happened as I have so many times. Hulk is no longer sleeping alone in a cage with a short roost as he is no long falling off the roost. the tendons in his “ankle” (what one would think was a knee) Are...
Another update. …hes still well. he still sleeps in a cage with a short roost. he sleeps fine until he hangs hisnhead down the his neck wriggles and he falls off. he often sleeps with his head tucked under his wing its when he deepnsleeps and itbhangs. that there is an issue. its almost as if...
Update: it’s been a week or so since he’s been off his vitamin regimen…he’s well. He has returned to the flock during the day. I still worry about his falling off the roost at night so he sleeps in a cage with a roost an inch or so off the ground. It looks as though last night he didn’t fall at...
thank u i understand what u are sayin...i guess my "point" was yes wry neck could be caused by many things. including neurological....and vitamin def. i feel since the heavy vitamin treatment he is "better" that i feel the wry neck was causedby vitamin def. i am stumped by the sour crop however...
So 2 days with the splint on and it’s working as I had hoped it would. He stands with that leg as he should. The splint is allowing him to use it and at the same time stopping his ankle from bending forward. When I checked his leg over I could feel the tendon in the back and it felt loose” not...
So there’s no slipped tendon in the leg…could it be a sprain? It’s not warm and minimal swelling today. I’ve been giving vitamins and termeric. After eating all day his crop was empty at bedtime which I don’t know if it’s a good sign his crop is working or a bad sign that he’s not eating...
after his sour crop he was fine…no leg trembles. maybe I wasn’t clear on that? He had the wobbles and couldn’t get around. Then during his sour crop treatment he got stronger. When I put him outside he was flying, running, etc. no leg wobbles. Then after a couple days wry neck….he flopped around...
