And which kind of antibiotics?

Thanks I will try it. What do I make a sling out of?

I have confirmed, no scabs. It is just swollen. The hock is also swollen. No mareks either, but after reading an article about it I think my favorite chicken Lhicken died because of mareks. She was displaying some of the symptoms (i.e. wasting away, getting paralyzed in one leg). But, Muffin...

I will try to feel the tendon... And I will also take pictures in a bit.

I have an approx ten week old EE pullet. She is displaying some symptoms of slipped tendon. She doesn't want to put weight on her left leg, and doesn't want to eat or drink even though her crop's empty. I force fed her mash and egg yolk yesterday, and also force-watered her but it seemed she...
