Ok so my big Pekin baby still isn't wanting to walk much, he can make it to the food and water. He swims like a champ, kicks and scratches like no other. He can walk, for short distances, but prefers to loof around. We did get Niacin, but apparently we got mixed up and bought flush free, he's been on it almost a week, it seems to make a bit of a difference. We are going out tonight to get the right stuff. His legs do seem to sploot out quite a bit so I started using a device I made for splay leg, that got him sitting up more and hobbling around on his hocks. We tried to put him in a sling type thing and he climbed out! (Kiddie camping chair made of fabric and holes cut for the legs). He's a little fighter so I'm fighting this with him as long as he's fighting to live. His legs are warm but they have been like that since we got him, his legs and toes don't look swollen and I cut his nails last night to help a bit. I'm out of ideas on how to help him.
