Help with possible sick keet

[PeepsCA]

That should work Kasey. If they still have problems after a couple days tape/shoe them again and spread the toes a little farther apart next time. As long as the toes are not curling under or bending the wrong way the keets should be able to recover tho. The issue is mainly when the toe joints keep bending the wrong direction for too long that you want to avoid, because when allowed to do that the joints continue to develop wrong. Good luck, hope you fixed them!

Good deal! I thought I might have them a little close but to be honest it was pretty tough to get what I got done. Those inside toes were just so crooked and with the tape they look so much better. The toes were close to being about at a 45 degree angle out.

Poor things, they made me feel so bad about band aiding them up... I sure hope it helps! Thanks for the advice!

Let us know what happens with those toes. It should work just fine. I've done that the same way, as Peeps has instructed me, and it worked like a charm.

You caught soon enough while the joints are still soft, so the chances of fixing them are pretty good.
And no, it's not easy to do get those feet/toes taped, even with an extra set of hands to help. Kind of compares to giving a cat a bath, lol.

By they way. The original keet seems to be do much better! We are thinking it maybe just got too cold because of the temperature drop.
