I could use any help that I can get please!
I recently bought 3 turkey babies from my local feed store and they are now about 5 weeks old.
The 1 is doing great but two of them are not.
I believe both of my "sickies" are Toms as well.
One of them had a very slight limp when I got him and they told me he was probably pecked on in the crate and would be fine...He is not...His foot is now swollen in the center 3 times the normal size. I can see no physical injuries, except the fact it is slightly bluish in color. He will not put any weight on it as well.
The other also had a slight bowing of one of his legs going outward, and overnight, it has completley turned around and is splayled behind him and he cannot stand at all.
Both are eating and drinking fine and I have been adding Tetracyceline antibiotics to their water for two days now but there is no change. Neither of them seem to be i any pain as well.
What else can I try and what could be causing these seemingly un related issues?
PLEASE HELP!
