    Limping rooster

    Hello all! My aged rooster has been limping for over a month now. At first, I treated him for leg mites. When he didn't improve, I took him to the vet, and they did all sorts of tests (blood and poo came back clean), they gave him antibiotics (oxytetracycline), anti-inflammatory drugs (oral...

    Our little 5 week old Polish, Dumpling, started limping yesterday afternoon. She holds her right leg up a bit and and doesn't put weight on it. She is still eating and drinking fine, and getting around pretty well. We've put her on rest, in her brooder with her one friend and gave her some...

    Best recovery diet for bone fracture with possible tendon and nerve damage?

    Sadly, I think my sweet, 6mo polish chicken, Big Bird (BB) suffered a fracture to her hock and an injury to her tendon last Friday, and there appears to be a little nerve damage as well but still good circulation. Twice I've taken her to the vet to be put down (my husband is attached to this...

    Slipped Tendon in Adult Duck also Flucloxacillin dose?

    I came home from work today to find one of my girls scrabbling along the ground unable to walk. Her leg on one side was bent outward (sideways, not behind her ) from the hock at an unnatural angle, and the joint seems dislocated. I can move it back into the correct position but it will just...

    Broken ankle? Something else?

    We came out to find one of our hens limping yesterday morning. I flipped her on her back to try and see if I could find any noticeable problems. There is no swelling no discernible difference between the other leg and nothing on the bottom of her foot. The ankle does seem to have an inward...

    Slipped Turkey Tendon - When is it too late?

    One of our turkey poults slipped a tendon about a week ago. Being that we thought it was an ailment other than a slipped tendon, we unfortunately treated for the wrong problem and only now discovered it's actually a slipped tendon. I've read multiple articles and threads, but despite trying all...

    Severely crippled chick walking only on hock joints

    I just got a 1 or 2 day old golden red pheasant chick that is very uniquely crippled. It does not have splay leg, which I've treated (even severe cases) before. The chick walks (barely) on its hock joints with its shanks and feet upward. Imagine a person walking on their knees with their feet...

    Help! Duckling with a bad leg

    Hi everyone! We just picked up some ducklings that needed a good home. There is one I am concerned about. He is apparently about 4 weeks old and seems to have a bad leg. He gets around ok but not as easily as the other 2 we got him with (all the same age). The leg does not seem to be painful...
