sage Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Can anyone offer me any advice please? 5 weeks ago Suki went broody on me. On Sunday 26th May all was fine in the morning she got removed out of the nest as usual & the family went out for the day. When we returned I let the girls out into the garden & noticed Suki was limping. Her broodiness was getting worse as was her limp so in the broody cage she went (I did sit the cage on an old board as she was struggling standing on the cage) I was hoping the confinement would restrict her movement & help the leg get better. We ended up at the vets but he couldn't find anything wrong, Suki had several jabs to reduce inflammation antibiotics and a pain killer. Week later she was back at the vet for the same. Her foot/leg is not getting better, when she moves the toes are curled up and she hops dragging the foot. I was beginning to think Marek’s but her eyes are clear and bright her shin looks good and she is eating & drinking well. Well today she has laid an egg after a 5 week rest. I’m totally confused. Sorry it a bit long winded. Don’t know what to do for the best Sage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
good_egg Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 I don't thin Mareks always has other symptoms so if you are concerned I might separate her... My vet pinched Vivs toes to check if nerve was still working... Other things can cause limping such as something pressing on nerve or, in Vs case peritonitis... How is her abdomen? How is she looking in herself etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
