I have a Swedish Flower Hen Pullet with a suspected slipped tendon. She is walking on the top of her foot all balled up. She is eat, drinking, and otherwise acting normal. Any suggestions on what to do for her?
 
How old is she? Do you have a picture of her legs? Is there swelling of the hock or a sore hock? Leg bone deformities in one leg can sometimes be mistaken for slipped tendon. Bith of those are rarely treated successfully. I would try vitamins that include riboflavin (B2.) Human vitamin B complex 1/4 tablet daily crushed into food or a spoonful of water would supply that. Here is a link about a peachick who survived a slipped tendon, and start at post 12 after a vet visit:

Here is a video of her. She was hatched June 1st. Thank you for the advise. Would
Rooster Booster B-12 help?
