A dog got at my hens and while I don’t think it actually got to this one I believe she injured her leg or foot getting away. She can’t put any weight on it and is using her wing to balance and hobbles over. Vet can’t find a break. She can’t sprawl her foot, it’s scrunched up like this all the...
Hey everyone looking for some help. I have this emu (Oscar) who just started on having issues on his one leg. It looks like it's starting to bend sideways is this considered pulled tendon? How can I help this guy out any advice would be appreciated. I've attached some photos. I've also tape his...
I am posting on behalf of a chicken owner who does not have an account here, so bear with me. (Yes, I will inform them this forum exists. :-] )
Said chicken owner noticed their ~3wk old Brahma chick limping suddenly. It is eating and drinking perfectly, and seems to be aware and active despite...
I did search for an answer but could not directly relate to any thread. I believe she was "trampled" this AM by her sisters on everyones way out of the run ( I let them free range several times a day to keep boredom at a min)- have given her yogurt with a little "aspirin" and she is shivering...
Hi everyone! I have an issue with one of my bantam hens, hopefully you can help!
A couple of days ago, we noticed that she was having a little trouble walking and the next morning, she was really struggling so we took her out of the coop and brought her inside the house. The coop is isolated...
Hi all. So this pekin isn't mine, but stays in the stall with my fostered orphan goose. They've been together since my goose was still a gosling because she had a bad staff infection and had to be separated from her flock back in I believe April or the very beginning of the summer. They get...
My chicken has an injured leg… I think it’s from a rooster. She’s not putting any weight on it, toes are curled and she just wants to lay down. Eats and drinks fine. When she does walk, her toes usually stay kinda curled and her ankle seems limp. Sometimes she lays with it out in front if her...
Hi everyone,
Big Mama has been having issues with her feet for a little over a week now. I am between thinking it’s bumblefoot or a callous. She is also limping, only bearing weight on her left foot, which seems odd because that one looks worse. I’ve been giving Epsom salt baths to her feet...
Hello!
I have some 20-21 week old Rhode Island Reds. They all were walking fine until one day one of my girls started favoring one leg and limping badly. I thought maybe she stepped on something and I examined her foot and nothing seemed amiss. Fast forward a week or so and she is now falling...
So this morning I let my flock out of the coop to free range and my Dalmatian duck, Pongo, was huddled in the corner. When I moved towards her she ran out limping. I caught her and her foot looks fine. No signs of bumble foot or any other injury. The leg is a bit swollen and compared to the...
I have a rooster about 18 weeks old started limping. He’s just not doing any better. I don’t see signs of Bumblefoot or any wound or anything broken. He’s a Cochin, so it’s really hard to see anything. He still looks beautiful, has a healthy look and appetite for food and mating, but his leg...
So these are technically my mum's quail, but my younger brother and I look after them the most.
The one I need help with may need putting down, so I wanted to see if their is anything I could do for her before I take her.
And please keep in mind that I've only just managed to not only get my...
I posted a few weeks back after Chicky started limping badly on her right leg. The vet didn't see any signs of a break and gave her pain killers, and she gradually started walking normally again and we figured that was that.
I noticed yesterday that she was moving slow, hunched posture, far...
Our little 5 week old Polish, Dumpling, started limping yesterday afternoon. She holds her right leg up a bit and and doesn't put weight on it. She is still eating and drinking fine, and getting around pretty well. We've put her on rest, in her brooder with her one friend and gave her some...
When my chicks were fairly young around a week old, I was bring them outside and I had got 2 in the grass before my buff rooster ran over and picked my Rhode Island chick by the leg with its beak and mangled the leg. It had looked like straddle leg symptoms, one leg was sideways with curled toes...
I treated my rooster for bumblefoot a few months back and after the surgery he stopped having diarrhea. He still wont put weight on his foot though. Please watch this video and tell me what you guys think?
I have a chick that arrived to me through mail. The hatchery I got her from told me (based off the videos I sent them) that she has a slipped tendon. It took days for them to respond telling me this. I then had a hard time finding resources on how to fix this. By the time I found out a way to...
Hello, first of all let me start out by saying I/we made a mistake by not writing this sooner and that is my fault, I acknowledge that.
Our flock consists mostly of jersey giant mixes and lives in an old stable rather than a coop. We had one jg rooster from a less than savory place who liked to...
I believe my rooster got hit by a car yesterday, I was inside and heard a thump and when I looked outside I saw my rooster struggling to run back to our yard. I immediately ran outside, picked him up and checked him for injuries. I did not see any blood though I could tell he was hurt because he...
My little girl Houdini’d her way out of the coop some how and got caught in the foot trap that we had set out for whatever has been eating her family. There was significant swelling and an abrasion on the lateral side of her left foot. Her right foot had a small abrasion on her 2nd toe. I used a...
