Ok so I am not wanting make this a big deal..cuz I know what to do I just want to see if you guys have had this same experience. My pekin tripped over a stick and then over some metal in the woods and he has had this limp for over a week. I felt it(hot and swollen) and I have been putting ointment on it and it has gotten a little better. I am open to taking him to the vet but wanted to wait it out for a couple days. I don't want to not go to the vet and it end up being a permanent limp. I think that if it was a sprain it would go away in several days but...it has been more then several days. He still walks on it but I wonder if it if just because he is used to the pain.

No different than a person who sprains its leg. It can take weeks to heal. If more was injured then a Vet is the best option.
