Can I save flower?
« on: April 11, 2008, 18:48 »
Here are some photos of Flower, hatched Sunday night/monday morning.
Her leg/s seem deformed, she cant stand on them - still. Do you think its worth taping them, one of her feet is pink, not yellow like the other one, its not cold but other than no circulation I cant think what it is. She has no strength in her feet because of all this. If I let her go she just topples and circles. When held she eats and drinks.







Help please I dont want her suffering :(
Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most!!

could you give it a few more days and see how she gets on?

and then decide whether to help her to sleep??
If you do things well, do them better. Be daring, be first, be different, be just.

I could, but each day doesn't bring any progress. If there is a possibility she could develop and that she isnt in pain I will do all I can to save her but she looks so clumsy :( I would hate for her to suffer.

Is she eating and drinking on her own?

Well she doesn't balance well, so I have to prop her up with my fingers  :?

I would tape her legs to at least stop the splay worsening.
As guilty as a puppy next to a pile of poo
