I have a Red Bourbon Turkey Tom, his name is Bob, and I love Bob when he's not being a menace... anyway, there aren't any bird vets where I live, or within two hours of my home.

Im not sure how Bob dislocated his toe, after failing to find a vet I googled what to do and was told to splint his toe to keep it straight. I had done this to the best of my ability but it's clearly not working and now I don't know what else to do.

Any advice would be welcome, he seems to be getting around okay save for a bit of a limp, you can see his toe dislocate and pop itself back into place in the video-which is an improvement to a few weeks ago.
