Mille fluer d’uccle limping and laying around

[Sgrider77]

She is about 5 months old and for about 3 days she’s been limping and seems off balance… I have her separated until I know what is going on…

Is she holding the leg up or putting weight on it? Are the toes curling under? An injury might be a problem, especially since d’uccles can fly like superman. A sprain or fracture might be a problem if you see any swelling, redness, or green bruising under the feathers. With imbalance and lameness, Mareks is always a concern, but injury is more common.
