HELP New kids just born, one cant use back legs

[Pearce Pastures]

Video does look like something is off but hands on tells so much more so hard to say. How is the split working for him?

Here is a video of it splinted, still refusing to stand. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwEOBf8s2qLiNHZxWEVFV0JqS19meWZ4cGwzaGtlT2VvMXNN/view?usp=sharing

Goodness. Poor little fella. I sure hope he gets better.
I think I would consult with the vet and find out if those legs are likely to be viable. Other than his legs he seems very active.

I second that. The splints are not helping him and there is something not right that I don't think it going to get better on it's own. It could be deficiency, could be injury, could be birth issues/neurological, but it is hard to guess. A vet call is a good idea.

His legs simply did not form all the way. We are going to have to put him down

Sorry, these things never get any easier but I am glad you took him to be checked.

Sucks that he has to be put down, but at least now you know for certain and don't waste a lot of time and effort on something that can't be fixed. Also better in the long run as you hopefully haven't become too attached to him yet. Best wishes!

I'm so sorry

Hate to loose a kid, it's never easy

Glad you got the baby to a vet, now you know.
