Slipped Tendon?

[tmorr218]

Hi All,

I have a chick that was walking fine and normal. One evening I got home from work (a couple days ago) and noticed that chick wasn't putting weight on that leg. Research is telling me, it is a slipped tendon. What do I do??????? How do I fix this?

Any help is appreciated!

Do you have any pictures of the chick standing, and is the hock red or swollen? Do you think the chick might have suffered a leg injury?

I don't think she suffered an injury. That's what makes me think it's a slipped tendon. Attached is a picture.

Could you get a picture of her standing? Hold her up if needed. Is her hock swollen?

Yes her hock is swollen. It looks like other photos of slipped tendons I researched.
