Hi guys! A little bit less than a week ago, I posted a description and picture of a hen who just could but get up onto her feet. Everyone who replied said it was Mareks Disease.
Well, I took Ms.Chicky to the vet and they did a quick scan of her body and it turns out she had a broken leg the whole time! I don't know how it could have happened since there aren't any extremely high places for her to jump from, or anything weird for her to somehow snag her leg on if she was running.
I just want to know... Do you guys think she'll be able to walk again? She stood for the first time in a LONG time yesterday, but the image the vet gave me looked pretty ugly. Here it is:
Does this look like it could heal? We were given some anti-inflammatory meds to give to her by mouth once a day, and since we started it she's been standing up, but not walking... What do you guys think??
