| Main Symptoms
Leg may be twisted or hang at an unnatural angle. No weight put on leg. May display symptoms of shock (listless, no appetite and cold to the touch). A grating sound may be felt/heard when the leg is (gently) flexed.
Possible Causes
Accident or trauma are the usual causes. Unsuitable wheels and poorly constructed cages can be a problem too. Beware of add-on, shop-bought hay racks, ill-fitting shelves and some types of hanging toys too!!! Veterinary treatment is essential. |
