1) What type of bird , age and weight.
24 week old Cuckoo Marans, unsure of weight but very light
2) What is the behavior, exactly.
Unable to stand. Feels very emaciated. We think the right leg is the main problem. She also does not like to stretch her right wing. Does everything else fine but can not put weight on her legs. Her legs are not paralyzed, she just can't put weight on them.
3) How long has the bird been exhibiting symptoms?
1 About 2 weeks
4) Are other birds exhibiting the same symptoms?
No
5) Is there any bleeding, injury, broken bones or other sign of trauma.
No
6) What happened, if anything that you know of, that may have caused the situation.
No idea, one day she was limping, the next she couldn't stand
7) What has the bird been eating and drinking, if at all.
Eating Purina Start and Grow, drinking Trader Joe's electrolyte water. She gets mealworms daily
8) How does the poop look? Normal? Bloody? Runny? etc.
Normal
9) What has been the treatment you have administered so far?
Poly-Vi-Sol, TLC, Immoblilzing in a "sling"
10 ) What is your intent as far as treatment? For example, do you want to treat completely yourself, or do you need help in stabilizing the bird til you can get to a vet?
Treat myself
11) If you have a picture of the wound or condition, please post it. It may help.
Maybe later, camera is broken
12) Describe the housing/bedding in use
Pine shavings
Help?
