Silkie rooster toe trouble

[baycenter]

Hey! I have a bantam silkie rooster with a bum toe that curls under his foot, causing him to walk on it. This has, in turn, caused extreme swelling of the bum toe, pain (I assume) and limping. If I tape his rear toes together, his toe stays off the ground and he walks great until the tape falls off. Should I have his angry toe cut off or what????? Thanks for any help.

The correct dosage for aspirin is one tablet per gallon of water. I would try some vet wrap and wrap the toes together and see if this helps.
