internal pip?

quackkquack__ · Wednesday at 10:28 AM

I'm going to see a movie tonight so she'll be in the incubator while I'm gone so she doesn't fall over in the brooder and get stuck since her foot is still uncurled. Hoping it'll uncurl before tomorrow though since I have a doctors appointment and will be gone for around 5-7 hours. With that being said, if her foot isnt uncurled, it won't do any harm to leave her in the incubator again for 5-7 hours?

I'm keeping her with me all today and massaging her foot

Just gonna keep updating this! Good news, shes opening her eye a bit more. I think the goo that was in her eye is stuck in the corner since I managed to get a tiny piece out. I'm holding a warm baby rag on her eye every 30 minutes to an hour and hopefully it'll help it out. She's chilling in the incubator currently. I'm not too worried about her foot, I think she will be a-okay and even if it doesn't curl out, I'm prepared to make a splint. I'm more so worried about her eye, I don't want any infections so I'm hoping I can get this goo stuff out!!

So I think her eye is a bit light sensitive. In the dark, it's wide open while in the light, she doesn't open it much. But she's doing fine and despite her foot not being fully flat, she's walking around fine and can get herself off her back. She is attempting to uncurl it though! The only thing is she does keep scratching at her eye that wouldn't open. I'm unsure why, perhaps due to me holding the damp rag on her eye so around her eye is a bit damp/wet? I don't know but I'll keep an eye on it. Oh, she also pooped!! A lot!!

Sounds like you're doing all you can. I hope the little one continues to make progress.

Oh I did forget to say her foot is pretty much fine now so its just her eye now

Go little baby! I have assisted many hatches and usually they are fine unless I assisted to soon. Good luck!

Baby did great while I was gone, my mom watched her for me! When I came home, both her eyes were open so I think her eye is okay hopefully!! I'll post pictures soon
