A break in the femur.It is just above her knee. Her hip seems fine but has no control over the leg
I am holding it together it’s not broke on yellow legIt is just above her knee. Her hip seems fine but has no control over the leg
That's the Hock/Ankle.I am holding it together it’s not broke on yellow leg
Do I need bring her to a vet to have this done? Or can I do this at home?A break in the femur.
It'll have to be mended, if it's not aligned, splinted/immobilized, to make sure it heals properly.
Either way, but it would be cheaper to do it at home. If you believe a vet is necessary, then that's fine too.Do I need bring her to a vet to have this done? Or can I do this at home?
Ok. I’m gunna try and splent it. I will set her up in my chicken hospitalThat's the Hock/Ankle.
If it's broke above the joint, then it needs a splint. I believe the leg would still have to be immobilized for the break to heal properly though.
How long do you think it will take to heal?Either way, but it would be cheaper to do it at home. If you believe a vet is necessary, then that's fine too.
