Hobbling a Bowlegged Duckling High on the Legs UPDATE: Slipped Tendons

[Miss Lydia]

I have a feeling this is a job for the vet to get it aligned and splinted don’t you?what y’all are doing with therapy is really good though.

I wouldn't even know how to fix a slipped tendon! - Agree vet-job.

Which one do you think worked better? Looked like the first video with her having her feet closer to the ground would give more traction. Ya'll have done such a good job working with her. If your offering any treats like mealworms you might could get her motivated to move more by offering her some and making her walk for them in her walker.
When is your vet apt?

The appointment was at 8:45 this morning (about two hours away--so it's been a long day so far). The diagnosis is slipped tendons. There is a surgical procedure to fix it, but the one semi-local vet that did it is no longer doing it. We are seeking other options without much luck. The vet recommended continued PT, Vitamin B Complex and nutritional yeast along with Meloxidyl.

After our visit, another knowledgable friend recommended splinting as well.
