So happy to see this. At least you will know if something like this will work if it should ever happen again in the future.My attempt at the splint. I cut a popsicle stick in half and wrapped it with vet wrap to give it some padding. We placed them on either side of her tarsometatarsus, wrapped medical tape to hold them in place, and then wrapped the whole leg with vet wrap.
I gave her some Metronidazole and some aspirin for pain. I only had adult aspirin (325 mg) so I cut it into four pieces and gave her one of those. It's the closest I could get to 81 mg.

I do have non-stick gauze pads. Is that the same thing? I also have popcicle sticks and vet wrap. As for antibiotics, I have Metronidazole and maybe some Amoxicillin. I can't take off work tomorrow so I'll have to have my daughter take her to the vet for me.
I couldn't get good pictures because there's no one to help me and she won't hold still. It's broken in the middle of the tarsometatarsus. It looks like the bone came through the skin on the inside of the leg although it is scabbed over right now. She still has blood on her belly feathers from the break.
