My Polish Roo is about 10 months old.
Limping on left leg.
Poop is green. Has been for 6 weeks.
No visible injuries.
Warm to touch.
Resting alot, probably from hurt leg though.
Recurring problem.
Went through about 5 weeks of him having a leg issue already, seemed to get better-up to 90%- I say that because he was walking stiffly though, but couldn't scratch for bug and such yet. Then, he started visibly limping again 2 days ago and it has been warm. I gave him aspirin last night for pain, he is very docile lets me hold him etc..the previous 5 weeks I had him penned for 4 of them and was giving Poly-Vi-Sol daily. Wrapped his leg 2 days ago and when he woke up in the morning his foot was swollen, so i must have put it too tight, but didn't think so when I put it on. I would like to take him to a vet but just can't afford it right now. I hate seeing him in any pain, he is absolutely my favorite chicken out there.
NOw, I have teeneagers growing out in the pen he was put in to get well for those 4 weeks, and don't know where to put him so he will stay off his leg. He gets around fine and is crowing, mating eating/drinking.
Please help I am starting to think culling is my last option at this point. I can't even say it aloud to my DH without breaking down.
