Possible Gout

[Jkbaca]

Mycoplasma synovitis may not cause the common symptoms that MG does. It is more of a joint infection, although it could cause mild respiratory symptoms.

Ok, thanks! Good to know. Will call the vet tomorrow. Never seen anything like it in all my years of chickening.

Has the swollen ankle looked like that “for years” since the limp as you say? If so, I would think that could have been an older fracture or bad sprain.

I haven't had her long. She's a rescue. I have no idea at all what her age is. The swelling just started a few weeks ago and she's not limping at all. And it's both ankles. The pic I posted doesn't show it well. But maybe from jumping from a high roost?
