Sick Silkie- Lame

[SeanC]

One of my 10 week old silkies is lame. I first noticed it last night. She is barely able to walk on one leg and backs up only. I inspected her lag and foor but there is no visible signs of sores or injury... Can any one help please?

I can't really help you "fix" the problem, but I can give you moral support. If she/he just started doing this, and you see no obvious injury, I'd think she twisted her leg somehow, so maybe a sprain or something similar. I would contain her to a small dog or cat carrier (or something similar) to restrict her movement for a few days and see if that helps. If it is a sprain, it needs time to heal. I hope it's something not too serious like a sprain.
