Poor baby

Post by kenya » Thu Jun 18, 2020 6:34 pm

Noticed this 2 month old lavender silkie had crooked toes, poor baby, I put splints on her feet to straighten her toes. She's taking it really well. Funny to watch her walk though. I believe this was an incubator problem as the hydro went out at one point all night. Hopefully this will straighten them up.

Fingers crossed for sure! Hope you caught it early, when her bones are still maleable enough to be corrected.

The toes straightened out easily so hope it works.
