sudden leg problem

[aylasmom]

One of my khaki campbell girls was being picked on. so i picked her up and brought her inside. she is in a cat carrier. and very happy in there. Anyway i noticed first she had a eye infection. but when i would put her down between my legs to clean it(everyday) she would not try to stand and walk. i figured she couldnt see well and didnt want to walk. well her eye is much better and can see a bit out of it. so i took her out of the cat carrier( which is placed outside everyday) and put her in a pool of water. she swam and played and washed herself. and when i took her out....no walking. she stood. and then sat. and kinda.....crawls? into the cat carrier. she stands , but seems like her toes wont spread and her feet turn in. she is about 2.5 years old, first time this happened.i felt her toes, and they all seem the same, nothing broken. i bought brewers yeast and put some in her food. is there a chance or does this sound like anything anyone has been thru? i want to help her ... also i have a farmers coop here....has anyone gotten a type of vitamin supplement from there? i asked about nutri drench the other day, she didnt seem to know or heard of it. thanks.
i did read some other posts and look at pictures but couldnt find quite what shes doing.
a video may help? i think they can be posted...i can try that tomorrow.

I think it may be her back, or hips. Swim time in lukewarm water, perhaps a soak up to her belly in Epsom salt solution (don't let her drink it, it is a laxative). Just have her stand in a flat-bottomed shallow bucket or deep bowl with you holding her for several minutes at a time, twice a day if you can stand it. Maybe a tiny dab of Traumeel along the tops of her legs at night.

i will certainly try that. her swim tonight was in warm water, as i wanted her to dip her eye. she was getting mad at me for trying to use a soft towel....so i let her do the soaking. i will keep it up. and try that. thanks.

I came home from work today, and went out to give her some lettuce as a treat and shes standing and walking!!! I was so happy!she could not do that for days. the only difference......brewers yeast. and a warm bath last night.yea!! now to get her eye cleared up.

Yea ....she is standing ....but no walking yet. I gave her another warm bath...and then let her in the grass next to the other ducks. She didnt walk. Her wings seem fine until she goes to walk then she looks all screwed up. But she is standing. That is better. Mmmmm. Iam gonna keep trying.can you post videos without a link? Or there has to be a link?

just updating...apparently..she likes to keep me on my toes. today she is standing, and walking. i put her in her own pen so she can have grass and stretch her wings. and gave her a friend. she looks great, her eye looks great. fingers crossed.

As far as I know, video needs to be on vimeo or youtube, then you post the link.

Wonderful news about her improvement!!!
