Hi,
I recently re homed a couple of 3 year old silkies. When I collected them I was told that one has some troubles walking, and that they took her to the vet who said it was likely due to splayed leg as a chick. However she doesn’t seem as perky as the other silkie… lies down a lot and tends to eat and drink more when you put the food right under her. She does eat and drink well but again not the same as the other silkie. I can’t see anything wrong with her legs, other than they seem to tremble a lot, and she seems to try and balance herself with her wings… when she does walk it looks very normal though. Just wondering if there is anything else it could be.
