Just reaching out to see if anyone has any sort of experience with what I'm dealing with here. I can't find anything online that's much like this except a slipped Achilles tendon in young chicks, and I'm thinking that's not what this is.
I have an approximately 4 month old hen who got bumblefoot on her right foot. It was pretty bad as she was limping from it, we got that taken care of pretty easily and she was doing well till it came back again.
We took care of it again about a week to na butweek and a half ago and noticed a sore on her left hock from where she must have started to catch herself when she'd
lose her balance since she couldn't put all her weight on her right foot due to the bumblefoot.
It didn't look infected or bad in any way at the time, but I put some Neosporin on it anyway. Now it's pretty swollen and a little warm, and now she doesn't put any weight on her left foot, just on the hock, when she tries to stand on her foot it slips. She's eating and drinking fine, she just can't get around.
Any ideas on what I could do to help her?
