so ive just gotten this brahma about a month ago and i didnt notice her limping until the next day when she started laying down a lot. eveyday that passed her limp is getting worse, and now she is not using it at all and hopping on one leg. she had a bad case of mites but the vet has fixed that last week. After her mites were gone she is no longer lethargic. although she is still not using her leg.
She just got back from her second vet visit. Her first one she got some fluids, mite medications, and an antibiotic shot just in case it was an infection. the first vet visit the doctors checked her leg and it was not bumblefoot, nothing swollen, nothing, but she was just dragging it around at this point. She doesn't look like she is in pain other than laying down a lot. she jumps around the place, eating, drinking. I will be spending a lot of money on her i feel. Tomorrow she is getting an x-ray (which is expensive but at this point i can't just let this pullet go). I wanted to know if anyone has had simillar sittuations where chickens just stopped using one of their legs?
