I noticed that my 2 day old porcelain d'uccle chick was walking weird. So i went in to see what was wrong. it was a slipped hock, so i looked up how to treat that on here, This one poster showed how she just straghtened the leg and poped it into place and then wrapped it with vet wrap. I did that last night and when i removied the vet wrap to make sure it was still poped in this morning i noticed that it was and that the chick could support its weight on that leg, i put the bandage back on to give it more time to stay steady. The chick walks with its leg kinda tipped slighty outward because of the vet wrap. So my question is when i take the vetwrap off will it have spraddle leg? i let it walk alittle before i put the vet wrap back on and noticed that it kept sticking it leg outa bit? will it fix itself after i take it off? any help would be great!
