MissPrissy, anyone, I Have partial paralyzed roo!!!! RECOVERED!!!

I have a young Marans roo who was picked on very badly by two RIR roos the same age. I removed him from the coop and brought him inside. He has had most of his back and tail feathers picked out. I treated the exterior wounds but he will not attempt to stand or walk at all. He can use his legs as I have picked him up and put upward pressure on his feet. He curls his toes around my fingers but no grip to speak of and he will move his legs a bit but that's all. He has been this way now for 5 days. I have him in the house by himself and am feeding him his normal ration plus cooked brown rice and other goodies to help build him back up. Do you have any suggestions as to what I can do to encourage him to use his legs? This is the most bizarre thing I think I have ever seen

 

He seemed just fine the evening before. He was actually moving around when I took him from the pen so he could not have been like this completely before the picking started. That is part of what shocks me so, he was still mobile when I brought him inside the house.

 

I am sure there is some nerve damage. I can't imaging a sprain in both legs! I'm just wondering now how do you attempt to rehab him if it's even possible.

 

Bump

 

He is fine in every way with the only exception being he is minus some feathers and does not stand or walk. He is perky, alert, happy, eats and drinks fine, no open wounds at all and no head injury.
