Help! Is this curled toe?

Ok so we have our little cup chair and he is HATING IT so far. But anything to get this little guy better!

So cute!

Make sure the feet are touching the ground. Pine shavings in the bottom of the cup will work.

Such a cute baby.

Did you wrap/splint the legs?

 

[CalgaryFarmer]

How is he doing? Is he eating and drinking? Is he putting weight on his legs?

You will have to manage temperature for him.

But this article says don’t let his feet touch the ground?

I’ve been having to feed him and give him water periodically. I haven’t taken the splints off yet to know if it worked or not. He knocked himself over a couple times.

I really disagree with the feet not touching the ground. He has got to learn to walk and you will not have much time. He need to weight bear to understand what his legs are for.

Well I took him out of the chair because it was well over 24 hrs. Still can’t walk but is drinking. I might have to do the chair again to get his legs working right. They bend much easier now but he still keeps them behind him.

Sounds good. Hoping for the best.
