So I watched the video in the sticky topics and wrapped Clementine's wing the same way (vet wrap around the affected part and securing it under the elbow):

I left it for 9 days (well, I changed it once because I let her go for a swim), and I checked it regularly. I took it off, and her wing no longer juts out like it did. Now it droops:

Questions:
  • Did I make it worse?
  • Do I need to rewrap it?
  • Is this just because her muscles are weak after being bound for so long?
I have had great success treating both angel wing and drop wing by mixing my 20% protein all flock with oats. Do four parts food with one part oats. I prefer the steamed rolled oats that are about $15 for a #50 sack at the feed store. Human rolled oats can be used too, but they are $$$
