    Help! My duck has a broken leg

    He doesn't put weight on his leg, he doesn't try to. There is an animal shelter down the road from us. I might be able to take him there. The vet I spoke about before is on holiday apparently. Typical! Fencing them in isn't really practical. We live on a farm. Other than putting them in a...

    Help! My duck has a broken leg

    I did have a look and it also feels very smooth, not as if there is anything there. I'm pretty convinced it was a car. He has a balder patch at the thigh area too

    Help! My duck has a broken leg

    Thanks for the reply. I will post in the other section too. I've since had a closer look and there appears to be no actual obvious break. So he maybe hasn't broken it. There is a balder area to his thigh region and it may be a little swollen there too. It is so hard to compare two legs when...

    Help! My duck has a broken leg

    Hi everyone. I am looking for some advice please. My runner's were out playing in a puddle and one got killed on the road. Another appears perfectly fine other than his leg. He cant stand and he was just sitting quacking at me when I went to him. He pulls himself along but cant stand. I put...
