[sherrihargrove]

This is Darlene, she was given to me because something is wrong with her foot, leg, hip. not sure what is wrong or what to do, she cant stand, walk or run. very worried, any suggestions?She is almost a month old

Look up spraddle or splay leg. That's what it looks like to me at a glance and there is lots of info on that subject.

we have used vetrap and hobbled her hoping it will help her stand and maybe learn to walk.

I am not sure what the problem is, but do have a look at this link to see if you think it could be this.

this mentions perosis as well

I am not sure if it is fixable or not.

I hope she will be okay! Maybe if you do something she might grow out of it!

good news, she is trying to stand.at 3 pm it will be a full 24 hours of hobbling and we will unwrap to see if it is working then rewrap for a few more days or till she stands on her own.
