I have a Pekin duck with an injured leg. It seems to be swollen where her foot a leg come together. She was limping on it and now won't use it at all. I have her in a small cage where she can't move a lot. What can I do for her. I feel so bad. I am not sure how she hurt it. They(3 months) are now old enough to be in the pond. So I released her and her mate and one morning she came up with a limp. This all I know. Please help.
