Slipped tendon? Please help!

I could definitely try that. I just don’t know if the wrap around the legs is going to keep the hip itself in place.

Hmm, true.

I also tried to put her in a cup/sling, and she was trying to get out of it all the time that she was there.

Darn, that does make sense I guess. Maybe with time she would get used to it?? Maybe not...

I’m sorry that I don’t have any suggestions for treating the dislocation. Many times a shot glass or small wine glass can be a good way to strengthen the legs. Hopefully, others will help with suggestions.

Could you try the splayed leg bandage except higher up so it controls the hip?

Hi again.
Thank you all for the replies. I will try to wrap her legs higher up, and probably try again with a cup or glass.
We put her hip back in place again, then wrapped the gauze around her hip and lower body, which seemed to work, but she got it off after a few hours.
She’s really active, eats, drinks, really energetic, loves to snuggle. She’s a really strong chick.
I really hope that she can get better soon.

Glad to hear that she is acting great! I hope that she gets better, too.

We wrapped her up again. We did it around her hips, over her wings/back, and around her hips again.
We also put her in a glass cup, (that was the smallest we had at the moment) and lightly put some gauze around her and the cup, to prevent her from jumping out.
We also did the leg bandage like for splayed leg.

I couldn’t cut two holes in the sock for her feet, since we did the bandage like for splayed legs.
We just did one bigger hole, and stuck both of her feet through there.

Looks good. Does she have access to water, too?

 

[Birdmansion]

No…but we give her water through a syringe at intervals. I could put up a little waterer, though.
I just didn’t want her to accidentally fall in and get stuck there. (When she was still not in the sling)

Smart, you wouldn't want her to drown!
