fracture

hi everyone I was just after a bit of information that possibly someone on here may know. My little miss quail has injured her leg. She will not put weight on it at all and awkwardly hops on one leg to move (even though her food and water is right in front of her in her hospital box) 😒 Although...

Hello! We have a hen that appears to have broken her leg directly above the hock. There is green bruising and she cannot move the leg at all - it flops completely and she doesn’t respond and grab things with that foot. A few questions: 1) Is a splint that doesn’t cover the whole tibia worth...

My peachick of 4 months old suddenly has a really bent leg. It must be dislocated or broken or something because it’s REALLY bent. Wasn’t like this yesterday; seemingly just happened this morning or overnight. It was recently moved to a wire cage. Could that have anything to do with the problem...

So my female duck is about 7 months old now, and for the last 3 months she has had a massive limp. She would go back and forth to favoring both legs and we went through multiple stages of wrapping them, soaking them in Epsom, keeping her isolated, all of it except the vet. I think both her legs...

Hi! A fully fledged chick was brought to me, apparently with a broken leg. It had been about a week since the injury, and nothing had been done to assist the chick, other than removing it from its fellows. Taking it to see a vet is not an option. I have never treated a broken bone before. I...

Well, as we are always rescuing something over here at least a few times a month, the newest addition was a female House Sparrow that went down during a monsoon storm, lost all of it's tail feathers and got an ouch on it's wing. We have been caring for it for the last week and a half letting her...

I recently adopted a chick that had trouble standing on its right leg, and formed a nodule on its ankle from walking on the wire mesh inside the brooder. She can't move her ankle straight, and usually hangs at a 90 degree angle, but can be bent upward a little. She has difficulty walking...

To familiarize myself with a normal chicken's rear end is like I occasionally probe the rears of my chickens when I hold them, and today both of the 5 month old Waffle's pubis bones have a sudden, sharp bend to them that I've never felt before and his brother from the same hatch doesn't have...
