Right. No harm in looking. If you don't find one, maybe you can either find someone to give you a ride to a vet or you could look for help and suggestions here. There are a lot of helpful, experienced people who could offer suggestions.

Yes I know but its nothing they can do to help me cuz i am not a vet don't want to make it worse I do know allot about animals but not all about illness. My chick has a twisted leg by going through cage bars when she was smaller she is a guinea fowl chick. She eats fine and drinks but cant walk vary well I think its dislocated from the hip or her joints

I do see that many don't treat avian. But these are a few mobile ones in NY. Maybe you can at least ask them if they can direct you on the right path or know of any that may be able to help.

Very seriously... many of us are capable of doing things we never thought possible when it comes to helping those we care about.

Something else you might look into is calling any avian rehabilitation or rescue centers... MANY have volunteers that will do the traveling to help animals out.... Alternatively... you might look for someone to give you a ride to the vet... like a taxi or Uber for the same cost as having one come out. I have anxiety that makes it extremely hard to leave the house... so I don't know if these are options for you... but brainstorming to try and help you figure SOMETHING out!

What is avian rehabilitation

What is avian rehabilitation

Avian is a word that means bird. And rehabilitation, is usually like wildlife sanctuary or something where they will take in injured or orphaned WILD animals and raise or fix them (but not habituate them to people) and make sure they can survive back in the wild before being released again, often close to where they were found. Most will not treat domestic animals, But making calls and making connections can help. You just never know when you will find that one person with experience or the RIGHT connection. Heck call you nearest zoo and see what they suggest for how to get a hold of an avian vet... that just means vet who treats birds.

I agree you probably need a vet, to get this right. There are many here with experience but it does seem quite difficult to know ya got it right and best to have a hands on demonstration.

How big is she now? How long has she been with the dislocation or possible break? Can you get her in a kennel or box? Is using a taxi or other means a possibility if you could find ANY AVIAN vet near by? If you can't get her fixed are you prepared to consider euthanasia?

Injury REALLY stink. Any of us could face it at any time. Accidents happen.
