It has been 4 weeks since Mango (ISA brown, four years old, stopped laying about a year ago) has been separated and staying in the house since my daughter found her standing with one leg, and left leg curled. She had mites but I got rid of them. There is no swelling on the ankle and assumed it was a soft tissue injury. She was in a sling for the first week but she is standing with one leg or sitting down in a box now. She doesn't want to put weight on her left leg but sometimes she puts her left foot on the ground lightly. When I touch her foot with my finger, she grabs my finger but when I push her foot up, she won't push it back while the other leg does.
I have continued giving her extra vitamins and other nutritious stuff. Her left thigh is getting skinny (I guess she is losing muscles.) My concern is that the left side of her belly (right beside the thigh) feels firmer than the right side. I am now wondering if the hard stuff is tumor or something and it is affecting her left leg movement.
I want to see how she goes a little longer, but I guess she should be better by then if it were soft tissue injury and some sort? I don't feel anything broken. Anyone had a similar experience and ended up finding tumor???
