I accidentally hurt lydia (I think she is about 8 weeks) , I dropped something heavy on her foot it is really swollen and she won't put any weight on it.
I tried putting her back in our bathtub brooder with one of our chicks but she kept bumping into her and making her move and she got all flustered and tried to hop around so she is on her own now and calm.
She hasn't drunk anything yet, she is always the cautious one to eat or drink Wont eat a tasty treat until she has thought about it for a while or if she is stressed so it isn't a surprise she hasn't drunk/eaten anything. So I've iced her foot (swelling went down a little) offered food and water and am now leaving her to sleep a little before trying again.
Any ideas? How long before I should panic?
