A couple weeks ago I noticed that my chicken was limping. I went to investigate, and I found her middle on her right leg twisted around. I went on here and got some answers on what to do, and I wrapped the toe. Unfortunately, the toe died and I had to cut it off (it was hanging on by a thread of skin). Now it’s been about 2 weeks, and she will not walk. It seems as if the two other toes can’t move/work. One of the toes is black at the end, and she won’t bend them. I tried bending
them and I was afraid they would snap off (they bent just a little, I don’t think she can bend them without help). I’ve been trying to do some sort of physical therapy with her (putting her on a perch so she has to bend her toes and massaging them, standing her up, putting pressure on them) but she falls face first into the ground. She has diarrhea (she hardly eats a thing), and it’s difficult for her to walk. She can’t bend her toes and due to that she can’t balance her weight and walk. I DONT WANT TO PUT HER TO SLEEP!! Please, does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do to force her somehow to walk?! She is my beloved pet! Thanks!!
