Leg problems!!!

[hugitnotnugget]

Hi, there!

Just checking in to see how your bird is doing. Updates to these type of threads are quite useful for people in the future experiencing the same problem.

He is doing better but still limps pretty bad. The water therapy seems to help as he does best after a few days of it. He is able to move around more and is happy with his life in the pond! Our female is doing worse. Hers doesn’t seem to get better with the water. I think hers is a different issue because her knee knuckle get swollen and warm on the one leg. Mostly towards the end of the day. Maybe she injured it and needs some rest. Hard to do when the drake needs to move in the water and both of them will freak out when removed from each other. Hope this helps others. Definitely an ongoing issue so any advice people may have is always appreciated

Sorry to hear he's still limping.

Would you happen to have any NSAID's over from a past veterinary visit (dog, cat, bird, etc) to be more specific, any Meloxicam, carprofen, or ketoprofen.

Do/ could you post a video of them walking?
