I'm not a vet so can't say if it's dislocated or not but looking at the pics you have posted it doesn't look bad, giving him some niacin might be a better choice or brewers yeast. not sure if him being a drake the excess calcium may not be good on his kidneys.

ditto.  Vitamins, perhaps some lukewarm bath time deep enough to float and take a little weight off and stimulate circulation, keep watch, probably will heal up uneventfully.

 

 

And since I sometimes use herbal home remedies, I would put a little comfrey salve on it.

Well donald seems to be doing ok. he still cant sit still and just wants to play but im trying to keep him in one spot. there isnt any swelling on the toe which is a great sign i would think and hes eating and drinking fine. gave him some niacin and vitamin supplements in his food and now i shall sit back and wait for him to recover ;D

Hi its been a few days and it seems to have almost healed. its healing really really well and theres hardly any swelling and the bruising has gone down. its healed kind of funny as you can see from the third picture it has healed slightly raised. im assuming theres not much i can do and for now it dosent seem to bother him too much. Thanks everyone for the help :D if it wasnt for you telling me it would heal on its own id have gone into a mad panic and spent money i dont have and probably made it worst somehow. BYC IS AWESOME! :D
