On 21 June 2019, the chick (I named it “cc” was suspected to be trampled on by the father rooster. It was lying on its left side and unable to move. We brought it home and started to syringe feed it moist food and water. It was able to peck on the moist food from a spoon after a few days. As it was unable to move on its own, I need wrap it with a towel and held her so that she can peck on the food from the spoon. It started to try and stand after a week.. on some good days will try to stand and walk but wobbly and fell… by almost the third week 12 July 2019, she was able to walk round for a good few seconds… but ever since then she never try and was unable to stand up on her own. I brought it to the vet and was suspected that the spine could be pressing on the nerve and affecting it recovery.. until today the chick is still unable to stand on its own without support… I tried letting her lean on my legs and stand and she managed. Notice her toes will keep rolled into a curve.. is there anything else I can help her.. hopefully when she grows older she will be able to stand up on her own.. her left side is injuried and she can hardly move her left wing and her left leg is usually held high up when she is put to stand.
This is the pic of the chick now.
Can anyone please help to share what more can I do to help cc?
