Possible Slipped Tendon PICTURES

[Zahboo]

laI have a BTW Japanese bantam. We always knew she walked funny, but never found anything wrong with her. Well, today I found out. One of her legs looks like it slid at the knee cap. I have some pictures uploading. She doesn't seem to be in pain, but what can be done about a deformed leg? Will this get worse as she gets older?

This is her normal leg, see at the joint how it's straight

Heres the messed up leg

These pics are when she's on her back and her feet are STRAIGHT. Her leg is that bowed. I was stupid and thought that's how it was for Japanese bantams, but after letting her romp around, I saw how the other japanese walked, and it caught my eye

Has she always been this way? Or this is something new?

Probably permanent if like this way since hatching.

Does it hurt? Warm? Can you gently try to starighten it? Maybe a warm bath will loosen things and you can gently put it back in? Not sure...bumping hoping someone else will know.

She has always had a slight limp. I figured it was because of her short legs. She just got worse this past week though.
