Runner with a limp?

[Duckduckgoosie]

My sweet Runner Jubilee has a limp. Nothing visible. Eating & drinking fine. No incident that I know of. She can get around but limps. Puts some weight on it but also holds it up off the ground sometimes.

Started a few days ago, I kept thinking she was walking just a tiny bit odd. Next day it was obvious.

Anything to do besides watch?

I’ve treated bumblefoot in chickens before. No swelling or sign of injury.

What is her niacin intake like? She could have just overexerted herself and needs a few days to recover but she may have a niacin deficiency.

Hmmm, ok! She’s been on Flockraiser and H &H.

Every once in a while one of my Runners will end up limping but they go up and down the hills in their property so I figure that’s the cause, I give them a few days rest where they are limited and can’t be running up an down the hills and they are fine . Also Liquid BComplex can give support while leg is healing 1 ml over a tasty treat. Hopefully she has just gotten a sprain .

What’s the best way to increase niacin?

Just like this, from the pharmacy?

You can use that but the better deal is TSC it’s Durvet liquid BComplex 1 ml daily if you go with human it’s double the dose

Thank you, will see who is open today. I put her in a crate on the back porch with food & water, to rest.

TSC is out of that but they have Rooster Booster:
