maggiesfarm Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 HelloCould anyone help please. My Faverolle, who is about 5 years old,has gone lame in the past few days. Her foot is completely curled up and she can't walk, she is just laying on the ground and sort of balancing herself with her wing. No sign of raised scales or black scabs so don't think its Bumblefoot or scaly leg mite. She is eating a little bit and drinking but no sign of poo. She seems quite bright in herself.A couple of photos to illustrate. Thanks for any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beantree Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Anything stuck in her pad or between the toes? They will curl their feet up if they are unable to stand on that foot at all, so it could be a knee or hip injury. Anything she could have fallen off or is the perch high and the floor hard?

The Dogmother Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Hmmm, hard to tell without seeing her - roughly where are you located? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing between the toes and no obvious sign of injury. So worried about her. 6 hours ago, The Dogmother said: Hmmm, hard to tell without seeing her - roughly where are you located?

Nottingham in her feed. Perch is low. May have fallen off a Wall bit unlikely. Recently moved house so garden is new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Have you felt her hip and joints and compared to other side? Can she move it ? Miserable for her and you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Sadly not near me, see if you can find a chicken-savvy vet near you. It's really hard to diagnose by email Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
