[joyfull]

I already have the poots sharing the office with me whilst they are on medication (they are free ranging and pooping everywhere  ) and these have now been joined by another one who is living in the cat travel basket. This is a little araucana 7 week old chick who started to drag his/her foot - I tried making a boot and splint but that didn't work so went back to the vets today and after a bit of manipulation a loud click was heard. She had dislocated her hip but sadly she may have nerve damage as well, so now she is on metacam and rest. Fingers crossed she makes a full recovery.
Thanks to Dizzie Lizzie and Grannie Annie for your advice
