Our boy Motley was hopped on by one of our bigger breed birds about 7-8 days ago. At first he was just limping around and carrying his R leg.
About 4 days ago I let everyone out and he wouldn't leave the coop. I carried him out and he was actually DRAGGING his toes/foot at this point. So I knew he was getting worse. I thought maybe just a sprain... He was still getting around and eating and drinking. No visual signs of trauma. No swollen/broken areas. SO I went ahead and crated him in the coop that day away from the other birds so he wouldn't further injure it and everything was super close for him, food and water wise.
Yesterday, it's worse. He's dragging his entire leg behind him now. There is still blood flow to the foot. Is it too late to try and fix it? Should I wrap it and give him more crate time? He's still eating and drinking and talking! Yesterday I put him in the yard and that's when I noticed the dragging of the whole leg. Like it was stuck on grass. I don't know what to do!!!
