No-foot

I posted on your other thread. If he is trying to bear weight on his stump instead of his "good" foot, common sense says his "good" foot is causing him pain, even if you can't yet identify a problem. You can give him one baby aspirin daily for a few days and see if that makes a difference. (Verify the dosage because I'm not sure if one baby aspirin is ok for a Silkie, or if you need to halve the pill.) On your other thread you were positive he didn't get frostbite, which leaves a vascular/circulatory problem of some type. Especially if his "good" foot develops a similiar problem.

I agree with the advice others have given you.
Check his "good" foot daily for any abnormalities, otherwise let him be and see what develops. You could also take him to a veterinarian, if that is an option for you.
Oh quick question, how do I give him aspirin??
 
Quickly open his beak and pop it in. Make sure the aspirin is over his tongue, and he will immediately swallow the aspirin. As small as a baby aspirin is, you could also hide it in a tasty morsel and give it to him that way.
