Thanks again everyone for your help, my duck is cruising around with only the ghost of a limp, and I suspect in time that will go away too!

She’s doing much better today. The leg is still injured but the panting and shivering seem to be over. I even found her standing this morning!

She’s doing a bit better and has started eating a bit (only her very favorite foods) and pooping again. Everything there looks normal. Hubby and I checked her over thoroughly again last night and noticed some mild swelling in the leg and joint but nothing other than that. Still giving her...
