I don't think that my Tom Turkey will walk again. He has been sitting down since Friday. I will give him a few days and if there is no progress, I will have to put him down. His legs or feet or hip could be broke, injured or something more, which is why he an't walk. I don't know but I can't see him just sitting in one spot for the rest of his life. That is not the quality of life that I want for my animals. If I have to put him down, then he will be going in the freezer. He feels like he weighs about 50 lbs if not more. I"m getting upset all over again just thinking about what happened with that dog.![]()
My hen that was badly injured stayed in a box in my utility room for 2weeks. She didn't move a lot the first week. I would give her a soak in ebsons salt to help her heal and keep things clean. She loved the warm soak. Then I would use betadine . The salt might help your tom it has magnesium which helps soft tissue heal. I would give him more time..
