3mo roo pinned by buzzard, not able to stand

[BrahmaSoo]

3 days ago one of my 3mo chicks was attacked by a buzzard. We chased it away after it had only managed to get chick on its back. There were no puncture wounds but little guy is unable to stand. He’s a Brahma x. He’s been perky & eating/drinking/pooping as normal since. I have him propped in a towel covered travel neck pillow which helps keep him upright as otherwise he just rolls over. If I lift him up he will put his feet down but will only bear weight on one. I can see quite a lot of bruising so I’m hoping it’s just going to take time for swelling to go down etc before he’ll be able to support himself again. Is there anything else I can do for him?

He could have a back injury but then again, he could heal just fine or with minor issues. Time will tell. Keep him warm and well hydrated.

It’s been 2 wks now & while he’s improved a little, still not able to stand. Any advice?
