I’m embarrassed to say this, but I tried putting a sock around my Cayuga who had developed angel wing. It would come off within 10 minutes or during the night. I assumed it had come off a month or two ago but apparently had disappeared under his feathers. I looked for the band but couldn’t find it and then forgot. My ducks are hard to catch and I don’t want to chase them.
But yesterday he seemed lethargic and so I checked him and found that the damn sock was still on him! He hadn’t grown too much during this time but it was snug. But not to the point where it was digging in, if that makes sense :/ I’m worried it was impeding his digestive system.
I’m caring for him inside and giving him warm baths.
His poops look like when you put play-dough through a spaghetti press. Do you think this is from the sock or is there another problem?I’m hoping to get in with the vet Monday.
I’m giving him electrolytes in his water and Emeraid liquid feed. Warm baths and some time outside with his friends. I’m home all day so I can watch him.
Just hoping for some insight while I wait on an X-ray. Can wearing a sock like that for a month cause permanent damage? It was very stretchy at least. I feel like such a stupid asshole. Ugh!
