Garlic won't deworm him, and it's on the list of foods that birds shouldn't have, so I would discontinue the garlic. No grit needed if he's getting crumbles, and the crumbles should *not* be lay crumbles because they have too much calcium for birds that aren't laying.Update, he is eating his flock food and water. I had to wash him as he stunk so bad, like rolling in animal poop for a while. Did an inspection of his feet, the bad foot he holds up has only one dark spot that appears something embedded itself deep, very swollen. His only foot he uses looks awful, many black spots. After I bathed him I soaked his feet only in epson salt for 15 min. than put rubbing alcohol on both feet bottoms with neosporen spread everywhere. When drying him wrapped in a towel we tried to dig out the black spot to remove possible thorn. While squeezing the swollen part removed some black stuff couldn't find an actual thorn. We might need to do some digging with a sharp object tomorrow. Decided to wait to see if the swelling will go down, or since we broke it open the object might work itself out.
I did replace his water dish with a deeper dish. Also gave him smashed tomatoes with two sections of garlic. His living condition sleeping on waste and drinking from a septic pond, as well as the ditch I found him laying in mud water before I rescued him. I am thinking of trying to find antibiotics tomorrow at a farm store if possible, any suggestions. Also do ducks need sand/grit in their diet to digest food like chickens.
