Hey y’all! I need some help/advance here. I just started working at an equestrian barn and they have a 5 year old horses and he has Club foot and got a joint infection from the vet (they didn’t do the injection right). Can this be treated? If so what is the best way to? And after he recovers...

Our Pekin, Ducky, seems to have an infected joint in his right leg. His legs have been deformed since he was a duckling and he has always lived a pretty sedentary lifestyle. He’s always seemed happy and is easily our sweetest duck, so we just accepted that he’s a bit different and worked with...

Hello all, I have a young gander and 4 young hens that all wander around my property under mild supervision during the day. My gander developed a slight limp about 4 days ago, and one of my hens developed a limp 2 days ago. My gander is now limping very noticeably, the hen not so much. I...

I've noticed yesterday that one of my hen's toes is oddly swollen. It just seems to be the middle portion of her middle toe. She seems to be walking fine, it bends normally, and she doesn't freak out when I touch or put pressure on it (so I guess it doesn't hurt?) Her mood hasn't changed and...

I noticed a few days ago my hen Fauna has a lump on top of her toe, but I couldn't tell what it was so I sprayed some oregano on it and waited to see if it'd shrink. I came back after the weekend and its a bit bigger now, so I did more research. I don't think its bumblefoot, I can't find a scab...

My pekin suck has a swollen leg. It looks mainly like it’s her hock joint. She has been limping otherwise no other symptoms. I brought her in to isolate her. I let her float around in a bathtub yesterday for a few hours and gave her an Epsom salt soak for 20 mins. I also applied vetericin on her...

Hello, I found a baby chick in my driveway a couple weeks ago. Other than the fact that she couldn’t walk, she was doing pretty okay until just a few days ago. She’s been “getting around” by using her leg joints. She formed scabs on her joints and now They are COMPLETELY swollen and she has a...

My guinea has hurt it leg at “joint A”. It has no control of the leg from that area down.The leg flips limp from that point. Seeing a vet is out of the question and I don’t want to put it down. I am keeping it in a smaller cage away from the others. How would I splint this?. In a 90° angle or...

We have a Pekin we’re currently treating for a really bad case of Bumblefoot. We got her from someone who was unable to take care of her anymore. She’s on antibiotics and Aspirin from the doctor. My concern is, she had pretty obvious swelling joint on the leg were treating. About double the...

Hei all, I am the proud owner of two darling female coturnix quail, both of which came from my high schools incubation lab a year and a half ago. One of the quail, (her name is Wubbly,) shortly after hatching was simply not keeping up with the other chicks, because she literally could not move...

Just picked up 10 Orpington chicks and discovered a chick whose right “knee” bends both forward and back. It doesn’t look as though it’s in pain, but it seems to lose balance when the joint bends forward. Otherwise, it’s an active little thing. About a week old. Has anyone had experience with...

I noticed one of the legs looked swollen on a chick but he isn't walking any different or acting like it's painful at all. The swelling isn't something I've seen before, but it looks like it is every joint on his right leg. Any idea what caused this and how can I help?

Northeast Ohio chick.

I came home from work today to find one of my girls scrabbling along the ground unable to walk. Her leg on one side was bent outward (sideways, not behind her ) from the hock at an unnatural angle, and the joint seems dislocated. I can move it back into the correct position but it will just...
