i just purchased a poult today at the feed store because i noticed he was hurt. when i brought him home i could see there was something wrapped around his leg preventing him from walking properly. it looked to be a scab of some sort so i put neosporen on to try and loosen it. when i went back later i took tweezers and tried to work it off of his leg it came loose but was attached to is belly. i unrapped it from his leg but i think it is his umbilical cord. he seems to be getting weeker i have been hand feeding/watering him as he will not on his own. im not sure if there is anything i can do to help him? i have read that a molasses vinegar water is good to help strengthen sick poults and also giving them very small amounts of asprin can help ease pain. but i am unable to find any info on the umbilical cord issue. i really hope there is something i can do for him! any tips or advice will be appreciated!!
