Brahma barely walking, help needed

[pnw_urban_chix]

Following, as I'm reviewing treatments for scaly leg mites. I'm sort of confused by the pictures though. It almost looks like parts of her feet are missing, or maybe just some claws? Are you sure it isn't diabetes or something else possibly? Any chance of rodents nibbling her feet?

Yes, I've noticed that about her feet, but they have been like that since she was pretty little. And because she has never had any trouble walking before now, I didn't really think that her feet/toes were the problem (in terms of them being deformed or something like that). I don't think at all that rodents are nibbling her feet. She also doesn't really have the symptoms of diabetes, other than walking problems and reluctance to stand I guess..... I'm just trying to take as good care of her as possible now because I'm not really sure what else to do, other than continue what I've been doing recently

You would know best if you have had her since she was little. So sorry she's not able to walk that much anymore. Treating her for scaly seems like a good course of action for now.
We have also found tiny bits of chopped red meat helped some of our girls at various times. We had one that suddenly couldn't walk, more like freezing and falling/sitting. She slowly got better with separation, a little garlic in the feed every other day and lots of extra protein. We did eventually get a fecal culture which turned up Clostridium. Not sure if that's what caused the leg paralysis. So many possibilities.

Hi! This thread has been dormant for a while, and I wanted to update and ask a couple more questions. So, her feet feathers have grown back in, and her feet don't look like she has scaly leg mites. She has been having pretty consistent bloody noses, which I am quite worried about; I don't think she has been constantly banging her head against the hardware cloth so not sure what is causing the bloody noses. In the past week she has gotten worse, now she is barely walking, she just mostly sits back on her hocks (it looks like) with her toes slightly curled, I can post a picture tomorrow morning. She can't get up the ladder, so I have to put her in the coop every night. I treated her a little for Vitamin B deficiency as my original post states but then stopped. I also just realized that the vitamin B I was giving her was "time release," will that not work properly? Also, she is about 4 years old, can chickens that old get curly toe paralysis? I'm not sure and am getting a bit more worried, so any help would be appreciated and ask any questions if you need more info or clarification. Thank you so much!
