JCress19 Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Hiya, I noticed yesterday that one of our hens is limping, but I'm not sure what could have caused it! When I first noticed it, it was very pronounced, but within half an hour of being out in the garden it got a lot less, so much so that it was barely noticeable - it's still there today, but again not nearly as bad as at first. Only noticeable if you look closely. We've had a good look at her legs and feet, and they look perfectly normal to me. I can't see any swellings or cuts, scaly leg mite, or anything that could be causing her to limp. My plan is to watch it for a few days and see how it goes, and take her to the vet's if it doesn't disappear, but I wonder if anyone has any ideas? She doesn't have anything particularly high she could have fallen off, and she doesn't match the descriptions/ info online for any of the diseases etc that can cause lameness... Is it at all possible she could have just pulled a muscle or something?!! 🤷♀️🤔 Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Completely possible that it's soft tissue been strained, especially if it's improving. Lameness can be caused by dozens of things so it's hard to say but sounds like you're doing everything right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
