Update on the little one
scooter needs baths and nail trims- both are very human socialized, will come up to be petted etc- i wish i could have gotten scooter sooner to fix her legs, the outside guineas will come to the door to visit the inside ones-
update on the little one, i am trying to do the bandaid since this morning both legs were splayed out- i am hoping this is all it is, i am also wondering if he has permanent problem- i keeping him with another guinea in a closed run would work?
thanks for your input- i am playing it day by day- not sure at this point- it reminds me of hip displasia in humans- i have had both hips replaced due to it- i am checking with a vet to decide whether to put him down-
Is it possible that gently exercising that leg to loosen it up might help? he is eating and drinking, i tried putting the bandaid on, it is pliable enough to realign them, but he freaks out when he can't stand- here is a closeup of his elbow
ok, i found a pic online- the leg is stiff, i almost get the feeling he may have been stepped on or got his foot caught in the wire of the cage- here is another pic- the leg is stiff, at the hip joint, but the knee is movable. The other leg functions normal
Just got back from the feedstore- they have had guineas in for a few weeks- well, as usual i had to look- so i came home with 2 guineas- one can't walk- here is his pic- i need ideas on how to care for him- if it is splay leg or something else?
