Here’s the necropsy report on Ginger. Vet said the limp was most likely from a blood clot in her leg. I’m somewhat surprised how quickly she went from seemingly completely normal to death’s door. Poor thing was probably in more pain than I realized.

I will post the report if I can get it from my vet. I’ve also asked for pictures but haven’t received them yet.

Update on Ginger. I had her put down and a necropsy done today. Without sending samples for testing the vet is pretty sure it was a cancer. Ginger had lesions on her liver and lungs but the vet didn’t seem think it was Mareks, and ruled out EYP too. Ginger also had a lot of inflammation in her...

Thank you for the info. Another reason we didn’t x-ray was because Ginger showed no pain reaction when the vet manipulated her legs, feet, back etc. I would have expected a little wincing or something; but nothing. I did find it interesting in the Mareks article that labored breathing was...

Yes to Mareks as a possibility. No detectable numbness in her leg/foot. I’m hoping for the best. I’ll post updates. Thank you

Ginger went to the vet today (in a snow storm!!). Vet thinks something else is going on in that the limp is not likely from an injury. I elected not to x-ray because regardless of what it might reveal it wasn’t going to change the course of treatment. The vet detected a slight rasp in her...

Interesting. I don’t think Ginger has any sort of infection, at least not yet and it’s been 4 days or so since it began. She’s eating fine, pooping fine, still the boss and complaining about being confined (I take that as a good sign). So sorry about your chicken. I appreciate your concern...

Good advice. I have been doing this and I think she’s improving. But I do expect a slow go. Thank you.

Did the vet say what was wrong with your pullet?

I will take her to the vet if she doesn’t improve or gets worse. I’ll keep you posted.

It does seem like the injury is higher up on her leg. I will keep a close eye on her and keep you posted. Thank you.

Thank you for your concerns. I’m hoping it’s just a sprain too. It’s always good to hear good news.

My favorite hen also started limping yesterday. It’s worse today. Can anyone take an educated guess as to what part of the leg might be injured based on the video? Her foot looks clean and soft and I can’t see an injury or feel any heat or anything out of place. Ginger is a 4 year old normally...
