    My roosters toe is turning upside down

    Thanks. I just ordered some NU stock. Since I can't figure out what it is, I'm throwing the kitchen sink in too.

    My roosters toe is turning upside down

    I'm not one of the "apple cider vinegar cures everything" kind of people, but I did read that the acid in the vinegar can help acidify the urates and help break down the crystals that are formed with gout. It's worth a shot to mix it with the water for a few days. Worst case, it does nothing.

    This started a couple of months ago when it looked like Popeye had scaly legs mites. It looked bad at the base of his legs, so we treated with ivermectin and several Epsom salt baths. His toe was also bent so we thought maybe a broken toe. We kept it wrapped up to stabilize it, changing the...
