Extreme splayed leg...

[chicksntexas]

Here's my 3 week old BCM...For the first 2 weeks, I had band-aids on his legs and it seemed to be working! He picked it off and I left off for a couple of days...I don't know if you can really tell by the pic, but he can't hardly stand on his right leg! It's almost twisted backwards! Any ideas, recommendations ?? band-aids are not working...his legs are too big!

Thanks for any input!

Edited for spelling...

Sadly some just don't come around, bandaids just can't be expected to fix congenital deformities.

So maybe it's not fixable?

Sadly, in my experience they do not come back if the problem isn't solved in the firtst couple of weeks. Good luck with your cutie.

Same here, even then splinting the legs only works if the problem is mostly soft tissue and the splinting is done early on and holds the joint stable until the muscle structure can catch up to do its job.

If there are mechanical problems, deformities of the bones or joints then splinting is almost certain to fail.​
