Quote: I got them from a local BYCer she said LF, I can tell something isnt right, I did notice some dark pins in a straight line down her back! honestly she is 1/4 their size but they all get along, I guess I will bring her inside in a kennel and grab a young silkie or cochin for company. Wonder if her and bubba would get along, if I can figure out which is bubba! LOL I think at this point I should try some vitamins and more proteins and such to see if I can at least get her feathered. I THINK she is a girl and she looks splash?? will take pics tomorrow since I dont have kiddos until noon.

Ok so little Peg is now officially the most expensive bird I've raised. We got xrays (they used a dental xray!) and nothing is broken.
The vet gave her antibiotics and pain meds, it looks like there is an infection around the hock joint. It hasn't always been there so I don't know if the meds alone will fix.
I got advice on a different kind of splint which I think might work. I think I wasn't putting the other splint on tight enough, and once it was too tight for sure.

Here's hoping I wake up to a different patient in the morning! I brought two of her incubator mates with us for warmth, examples and she wanted nothing to do with them.

Thank you everyone for the support. I have some new things for my chicken first aid box.

Were they able to make sure that the tendon was correctly place? or was it just an infection?

If it's slipped, then you need to ensure that the tendon is back in place or else her leg will be deformed for life. What type a split are you using now? is the leg being kept straight, or in a natural position?

I hope I don't sound rude... I just want to make sure that if it's slipped, it's staying back in place. I feel so bad for my Charlie and a slipped tendon in very treatable if you catch it in time.

Quote: Oh WOW ! interesting! please show us what you came up with and what meds she put her on and such please. oh and I pray she cut gave you a break!

I was upset with my last litter of pups with Xrays of puppies! I was told since they couldnt get good pics and the xray tech who usually did it wasnt there so I had to bring her back the following week free of charge and they sent me a bill for two sets anyways! I threw a fit! but I think I got myself blacklisted : ( my bill was over 600 bucks for xrays! lesson learned!
