Oh I fixed it! Here’s the bad leg, yesterday it was pink and swollen at the vets when he examined it, but not like this. You can see where it’s going grey in places.

This is the bit that really freaked me out, at the front of the leg under the feathers her skin is almost completely black. The vet said not to worry and if she broke her leg the bruising will present like this as a hematoma.
Please excuse her mucky feet, she still has very loose movements (as she’s on formula! So she’s often quite dirty and I don’t want to mess with her broken leg more than I have to so I just did cursory cleaning. Looks terrible with the flash, but I promise she’s not living in filth!

Early this morning she was sitting on leg at a very strange angle so I wrapped it lightly in ace bandage, and she seemed much happier with it dangling behind while she perched/slept. This morning I removed that one and did the same but just on the ankle as she was moving her toes. They have some grip back today (yesterday they were kind of limp, I was really worried). She’s preening and trying to fly, and her mood is normal. I’m trying not to worry, in less than 24 hours she will be with a specialist and hopefully we can get to the bottom of whatever is ailing her! (And fix her leg).
