Splayed legs

Thanks for posting the links, Annie.

I sure can try Glucosamine. I doubt it will hurt.
But how much? A big human pill would be too much I think.

Angel and Tiny are home with me,finally. Not very happy yet, but they will adjust in no time I am sure.
Her leg is very bad, I mean really bad. It's ll the ways sideways and a bit backwards. That's the left leg. The right leg is ok, just a bit splayed.
We got home late and I just gave them some food and water and they are sleeping now. I will take some pics in the morning.


Reti

I'm so glad to hear that Angel and Tiny are back home with you, Reti.
I'm sorry to hear that Angel's leg has gotten so bad.

I hope you all have a restful night and will be looking to the pictures.

My thoughts entirely!

Reti, your heart must have sunk when you saw how bad Angel's leg is. My thoughts and prayers are with you both, wishing for as much of a recovery as will be possible. At least, it's some consolation to know that, in your care, her condition won't aggravate any more.

I took some pics on my phone. Now I have to figure how to post them from my phone on here,
She is doing pretty good. First two days she wouldn't leave her cage which is lined with cupboard shelf liners, she walks ok on them. Then she tried the carpet and she can walk on it ok too.
I also gave her a heating pad on one side of her cage, she sits on it occasionally.

Hi Reti,

We so appreciate the update.
I'm glad to hear Angel is doing good.
Is she able to use both legs?

I hear ya!!
We look forward to seeing the pictures.

I'm glad you have her back. Are her legs swollen?

The best way to post pictures here from your phone, is to email them to yourself first, save them and then post them here.
Here is a link to posting a picture on this forum.

Her legs are not swollen at all, just going way sideways and backwards, especially the left. The right leg is only a bit splayed.
But her whole body is deformed leaning to the left. She doesn't sem to be in pain, which is a good thing.

I tried to send the pics to my email but for some reason it doesn't save them to my computer. I have internet access from my phone so I will try to send them directly here, or download them from the site.
My phone is still new, so I am still trying to figure things out.

Reti

When you email to yourself, right click on the picture and ...click on save as. The you will be able to find the picture where ever you put it such as documents, gallery, etc.

When you are using a phone that has Internet access, sometimes it helps to turn the phone off and then on again before it will send email. With pictures, often there is a delay, for some reason.

Sean's phone has Internet and all the 'fancy' stuff on it.
It would take me ages to figure it all out.

We'll be patient.

I know. Remember when phones were easy to use? Could you ever have imagined the phones of today even 20 years ago?

The cell phone I have is very simple and small and I love it.
A while back my phone kept shutting off so I thought I would go take a look at some of the new phones, since I was due for an upgrade at no charge.

I got into that store looked around and decided to go to a battery shop to see if it was my battery that was going bad. It was!! I opted to pay for a battery instead of getting a new phone for free. Mine isn't even that old, yet it's already outdated. The new ones just have too many gadgets.

I hear ya. When I got my last phone, I told the guy that I didn't want it to take pictures, or sing and dance. I just wanted a phone. He told me that you couldn't really get a phone that didn't take pictures any more. So I have my phone that takes pictures. I can access the internet with it, but don't. I'm happy with using my computer for that. I'm just happy if I can get a signal and make a call. Which isn't always so easy around here, as there are a lot of dead zones where you can't get enough signal to make a call even.

That is so weird, I sent them to my email, the email is going into my inbox but there are no pics.
I was able to send pics to mai email before and I tried to save the pics, but when I click on save it doesn't save it anywhere. Darn thing. Too much technology but will figure something.
Actually I do miss my old phone, it was so simple to use. I don't know what got into me to buy this new smartphone.

Reti

I bet the pics will be worth waiting for...

It was great to hear that she's managing to walk a little!

Yes, it was good to hear that.

After days of trying I was able to save one pic on my computer. I have figured it out now how to do it.
So, now the question is how do I post the pic on here.

I tried everything and it doesn't seem to upload for some reason.

Reti

These are the instructions that Cindy posted:

http://www.pigeonangels.com/t709-instructions-for-posting-pictures

I don't use this method, as I always host my photos in photobucket and then paste the image link, but this seems to work fine for everybody else!

For some reason it doesn't work. It doesn't upload the pic.

I was able to upload the pics n facebook. Hope the link works.
