Injured leg. Need advice

[FrenchyChicks]

Hello
my 8 month old Silkie stopped using her foot about 5 days ago. at first she was limping but now she just stays calm and rest her foot. when she stands she keeps her foot up and uses only one leg.
I believe she must have injured a toe or something but how can I be sure?
I tried to feel something but I have no practice in doing so and I am afraid to hurt her even more.
I separated her from the others in a little crate but still in the coop for social interaction. she eats normally ( but I suspect less than if she could walk properly) and poops normaly too.
I cannot take her to a vet as I live in CA and because of newcastle they refuse to see any chicken.
what can I do? I am leaving for 12 days on vacation may 31st and I would like her to be feeling better by then!
any advice are warmly welcome!

Hi there. Sorry your pullet is unwell.

When you are feeling the leg/feet... feel for swelling or heat that indicate an infection.

Most likely in my experience you are dealing with a vitamin deficit OR Marek's. And IMO... most likely Marek's. Do you know if she was vaccinated against it?

I would offer either Poultry nutri drench or Rooster Booster brand Poultry Cell (product). As you research my suggestions you might find other vitamin suggestions like E and selenium or a B complex.

Only way to know for sure if you are dealing with Marek's is getting a necropsy at our state lab... links here..

I see you say you are in Ca... we have 2 labs. Adding your general location to your profile might help other make the most relevant suggestion possible.

Thank God you aren't in the mandatory euthanasia zone for your entire flock!

Don't panic, I know it's scary! Hang in there.
