Red has Injured Back Leg

[Uno's Mom]

Red just came home after being MIA for 3.5 days.
He basically walked very awkwardly and slowly onto the pool deck.
He is very jumpy, looks extremely tired, and has limited use of his
left foot. His toes do not splay as on the other foot and he tries
not to put much weight on it.
He ate a few pecans, some watermelon, had a drink and very gingerly
made his way to his palm tree nest and is up for the night.

I did not see any cuts or bites but I was not able to get close.
I am sure he will try and head out early in the morning.
Any input on a course of action would be appreciated.
I am considering putting him in his Henry cage tomorrow and forcing some
bed rest on him.
I am afraid his mobility is too limited and he will fall prey to a hawk or
eagle.:dono

Oh no Gayle. Poor Red.:shakehead
Is the palm tree inside your pool enclosure?
Whatever the case, better be up and waiting to see him early.
Willie has come limping home at night and been fine by morning.
Your right about the abnormal gait. Predators catch that from a mile away I've been told. I'll say a prayer for the little guy. hope he's better by AM. Keep us posted. Good luck.:grouphug

If it were one of mine I'd force them to rest.
They usually give in and enjoy the pampering until they feel better.
Let me know if you need any pain meds or ABs.

You know I bring them in, they are still in, waiting for all the boys to stop beating each other up and chasing my little girls who arent old enough to do what they are chasing them for.
