Female Pekin Limping

[warnerj3]

One of my female Pekins has begun to limp over the past day. I've heard of "wobble foot", but I thought that occurred primarily in Jumbo Pekins(she is not a jumbo) I can't find any wound on her feet. Any ideas or suggestions? Her limp is really noticeable, and she will sit down whenever she can to avoid walking!

I'll alert some people who may be able to help. Meanwhile, please post some pictures and/or video of the problem so that they will be able to see it. Videos have to be posted to YouTube or Vimeo to be linked to from here.

Never heard of "wobble foot", but if you mean bumblefoot that can happen in any type of poultry...

Check for excessive heat or swelling in her foot and leg... could she have strained or sprained it?

Try a simple warm epsom salt soak, 15-20 mins daily for a few days and see if that relieves the issue...

X2, hopefully we can figure out what this is.

Could be a sprain or pull. Rest, time floating in lukewarm water, Epsom salt compress ( E.s. is a laxative, do not let her ingest any), T-Relief ointment, are all things that might help. Some turmeric in the food is a mild anti inflammatory. It stains skin and clothing, by the way.
