OOLA Approx 3 years old Norwegian Jaerhorn
Lives Northern California rural area with predator birds. Chickens have locked in pen at night, free range day.
I think there may have been a predator attack. No feathers but she was limping and struggling to walk about 2 weeks ago. I put her in isolation and she seemed to get worse lowering
Head down, no energy
Painful for her to move
Legs shake bad when I pick her up. See video
Touch her leg and she immediately pulled back in pain
Don't know how to analyze broken bone or whatever.
TREATMENT
Noticed terrible mite infestation yesterday. OMG. In addition black on top of waddle. Can see in video. Sprayed antifungal twice daily for fungus. Gave Oola warm bath in baby shampoo with sponge. Cleaned her butt. Disinfected outside cage. Now have her in garage under heat lamp.
She's drinking very little on her own cause can't get around town, lol. Syringing her mouth about every 2xhrs or so with electrolytes and probiotics. Eating little food. Grapes, mushroom stems, pumpkin seed, scrambled eggs underlying chicken feed.
Thank you so much can't afford a vet.
Blessings
