This baby is walking on its right hock. I don’t know for how long since I just picked him up at TSC. I read it could be a slipped tendon or a vitamin deficiency. I’m treating for the deficiency with vitamins just in case but should I put him in a chick chair? Or hobble? Or could it be something else?

Me too. I’m just hoping there’s something I can do for him. He gets around okay but if he can have two legs it would be better.
Here’s a better picture of the back of his leg.

It looks like it might have broken then healed like that. I’m thinking I might wrap his hock so he has padding to walk on. But I don’t know if it’s a good idea if I can fix him.
