Mine got its leg caught under the door long story i paid like 90$ for a home visit from a mobile vet that included everything though with 3, days of pain meds i forced down his beak this is his leg now, its finally!!! Almost done healing i keep having to use this expensive cream the vet approved of its for animals like 60$ this stuff helped save most of his toes !! Though he lost his nails, and the dumb vet wrapped his back toe now it stays flat by his foot

 

[chick helps pls]

That looks dislocated at the hip, if it’s dragging itself by the head, it probably broke the pelvis, or whatever it’s called in birds. If the leg was just broken it would have a deep red purple area around the break, and it would probably stand on the other leg. Dragging itself by the beak means that moving the legs is impossible or excruciatingly painful, I think it’s kindest to cull it.

So I was just out there with it and it’s trying to stand up on its own so I will leave him for a couple of days and keep a close eye on him and if he doesn’t improve then we will cull him because he seems fine other wise and I just don’t want to do anything so soon if there is a chance that he could get better but thank you foe the information
