I think it would be worth trying anyway you never know. Looks like the leg is involved also can the lil one stand and walk at all?

Good for you, and nice warm water will help him also build strength. Start out by putting just enough warm water to go right to top of legs then as they get use to that try it deep enough where they can swim around[always supervised] They will have a blast and water therapy is really good for building muscles. About 5 mins to start with.

I think water therapy will do him wonders! Great suggestion, as always!

The lil navel is all closed up right? you don't want it to get wet if it isn't. Could introduce bacteria. I look forward to hearing about bath time.

Glad to hear bath time is going well, and the little one is doing well too.

Wrong end pippers can many times hatch on their own, but sometimes need assistance. Can you get a pic of the pip? And perspective of where it is? I might be able to tell whether it looks like one that will need help or not.
