Hi everyone,
I have an 8-9 week old chick with an injured leg. I took her to the vet about 11 days ago and he x-rayed her and said her leg looks like it was injured when she was very little and just grew back wrong. He bandaged her and that was it. He isn’t a specialist so that’s all he could do since there was no break. However, I was there when she started limping. I think she jumped off her ramp wrong, because she was fine and her leg looked normal then when I saw her a few minutes later I could tell her leg was injured. I’m not sure his theory was right bc her leg looked like normal then after she jumped it was noticeably bent. Her bandage started coming off yesterday so I removed it and her leg looks just as bad. What do I do? I feel so bad for her and already spent 450 for her vet visit that didn’t yield positive results.
I’ve seen people bandage chickens legs online and I plan on putting another bandage on her but I’m just not sure how to do it. It’s hard to see in the pictures but her leg is bent to the side when she stands and I don’t know if bandaging it will help that.
Thanks for any and all advice!
