1) What type of bird, age and weight: Lavender Araucana, about 16 weeks old, not sure as to the weight - seems to be a healthy weight.
2) What is the behavior, exactly. Just laying in one spot in a corner, not putting weight on left leg whatsoever, leaning to the left
3) How long has the bird been exhibiting symptoms? A few hours
4) Is there any bleeding, injury, broken bones or other sign of trauma. None that I can see.
5) What happened, if anything that you know of, that may have caused the situation? I found her next to the little plastic swimming pool, in some bushes - maybe she got tangled and somehow got injured?
6) What has the bird been eating and drinking, if at all? Water and layer pellets, and grass
7) How does the poop look? Normal? Bloody? Runny? etc. Not sure - have not seen her any yet since I noticed her issues.
8) What has been the treatment you have administered so far? Quarantine so far.
9 ) What is your intent as far as treatment? For example, do you want to treat completely yourself, or do you need help in stabilizing the bird til you can get to a vet? Self-treatment.
10) If you have a picture of the wound or condition, please post it. It may help.
11) Describe the housing/bedding in use - Hay in a coop. Sometimes she sleeps underneath the coop.
