If you could imagine how much his feet hurt. It does not surprise me he doesn’t get up much. Tuff little fella.

Ya know I have those little packets of vitamins for chickens and if you read the package they have
85% salt I was disappointed guess I should of read the labels (was in a hurry) And I wasn’t much more impressed with the packages of electrolytes either.
Sardines and canned tuna are high in vitamin D. Mine are crazy over Sardines from the Dollar Store (cheap).
Foods high in B vitamins. Are Eggs. Now I know he’s having crop issues so these are all soft foods. Perhaps you could try these?

The packet I have is a mix of vitamins and electrolytes

 

[MissChick@dee]

Still allot of salt. Are they
Like this?

I got him from my neighbor after she couldn’t help him since his feet froze after he was attached by a dog. I got the feet fixed then learned the god punctured his crop that is now healing good. But he wouldn’t stand.

He can stand in his cage just fine it started with one leg this morning and now both.

I'm sorry, I'm getting old and having a hard time following along.
So he CAN stand in his cage fine - he only does that when he is out of the cage?

What is wrapped around his legs? Is that something new - did you just wrap the legs recently? Did he stop walking after you put the wrappings on the legs?

How long have you been giving the electrolytes? If it's been more than a few days, switch to poultry vitamins that contain B2 (Riboflavin) or you can use human B-Complex as suggested previously.

He has enough room so he could stand but he is not standing. I wrapped his legs to help him joints not rub the ground so much he can move in the vet wrap though. He has had electrolytes and vitamins since Monday because of the crop issue.

I see.
He may be really weak since he has that injury to the crop too. Has what he's been drinking/eating been leaking out of the hole in the crop?
If it has, then he is probably dehydrated.
Has the hole sealed up where it can hold water now?

I know it's a lot of questions - does he have a bad odor like he has an infection?
