Turkey souple weeks old don't have much to go on he was a present from family bought at costal farm supply on April 1st
Right foot swollen it's trying not to put any weight on it. I checked for black spot and found nothing on it's lil foot.
Really noticed about 13 hous ago he was swollen but 36 hous ago he had started limping.
His brooder buddy (5 day younger Turkey) is NOT exhibiting any symptoms
The only sign of trauma is limping and swollen foot
I have no idea what could have caused this.
He seems to be eating and drinking fine poop is normal. Not sure how to treat or what to do don't want to fo something wrong so I purchased medicated feed and prebiotic water powder. I would like to treat him myself hoping not to have to go to vet but will if I have to.
Him and his brooder buddy are in a 2x2x4 galvanized stock tank like they were in at the farm supply place I have the temp set right and using pine shavings like I've done with all of my poultry.
