Hey everyone looking for some help. I have this emu (Oscar) who just started on having issues on his one leg. It looks like it's starting to bend sideways is this considered pulled tendon? How can I help this guy out any advice would be appreciated. I've attached some photos. I've also tape his 2 legs together and his one leg to brace it. Will this guy ever has his leg straightened? He currently in a jolly jumper to help his stand he bounces around great and eats and drinks

Poor guy! Did he happen to injure it from the slick floor? My little one hatched with a crooked leg, but it slowly straightened out on its own. I think what you’re doing is going to help. Make sure the tendon is positioned on the back of the hock like the other. Just incase it slipped.
