Guest bigda Posted May 27, 2010 Report Posted May 27, 2010 when she was away was it 2 days ago, and now home if so she has been into some ones loft and been fed, and if its a lump you feel could be her sternum bone stick out with hunger
Guest IB Posted May 28, 2010 Report Posted May 28, 2010 I'm not sure on the injuries, has she lost a toe, or a toenail (claw) ? Sounds very much like she hit something, maybes a wire thats caught her across the crop / chest area and passed right under her. You'd need to be sure she's recovered before puting her back on the road again. Does she stand OK on the injured foot, or does she still keep it off the floor?

Guest Owen Posted May 28, 2010 Report Posted May 28, 2010 I think your bird has hit something and the lump you feel is the result of impact. It has all the hallmarks of a failed BOP attack. Goodness knows what damage she has suffered, so I think that if she was mine, I would take her off the road for the year and let her recover properly. In any case, it is very unlikely that she will be able to win a race for you, so there would be little point in sending her anyway.
Guest shadow Posted May 28, 2010 Report Posted May 28, 2010 if she was mine her season would be over just let her rest up probably badly bruised
