I got a chick from a friend at 4 days old. She seemed to think the knee was dislocated so she put the leg in a splint. We kept it on for a week and the chick didn't use the leg much but still got around. When we took it off the chick had a cast sore but not unmanageable. Now the leg is kinda swollen and turning to wear if the chick puts pressure on it she walks on the outside. So I tool her to the vet who put her in bracelets? She just taped her legs together and said to leave them on a week. The problem is I think the legs are too close together because now the chick can't stand at all and she is really getting stressed. I need idea on how I can help her. We don't have many vets that see poultry in my area so I dont know about getting a 2nd opinion. She can only lean on things since I got her home.
