likeastar--x Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 After two weeks we gave up and took my pekin bantam chick to the vets. it turns out she has a dislocated leg that wasnt corrected early enough. the vet said she was probably in a lot of pain, but because shes eating and drinking normally she left the decision to put her down with us. i decided to give it 2 weeks and if shes unhappy then we will put her to sleep.

Gamebird Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 So sorry to hear about your bantam's problem. I'm sure you will make the right decision. Fingers crossed for a good outcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 We have a lame ex batt but because she was an ex batt, we decided she deserved a chance at life; lame or not. Try some apple cider vinegar in her water and see if she'll eat some cherries; both are good for joint problems. I'm sure you'll be able to judge from her behaviour what kind of quality of life she'll have. Good luck, she might just turn a corner. Fingers x'd for you xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Poor thing. I hope she improves. Have you spoken to the breeder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
