I would isolate her in a large clean dog pet taxi, put foam bandages on both feet. Maybe put a chicken diaper on to keep feces off. I used the foam bandages on rabbits to help heal sore hocks. Found them on Amazon.
It's years later now and did not change and your reply made me think of that and chuckle...
Next to fowl I also volunteer to take in pet rats. One was a kilo (which is basically for rats my 900lbs life but then in grams) and could not walk because the owner put soda-pop in those drinking flasks...
After months of trial and error, I am sharing these instructions of building a duck diaper out of a pond liner:

I have also attached a PDF of the instructions that you can print out.
I would try the B vitamins. I believe you need his weight off those legs so he might need a sling chair. I have seen people use garage sale baby bouncers with holes cut for the ducks legs to go through. In the chair he will need diapers or poi pads. Swimming in water he cannot stand in is...
He does not look very well at all. The grass is way too long for him to be nibbling on, and he could choke if it gets stuck. Offer him some plain scrambled egg so he at least gets something slightly nutritious in him, or he'll starve. Also, does he have a heart source to stay warm? They need to...
Actually the woman who brought the animal to us said it was a gosling but after looking at it's coloring it made me wonder Iif it was a duck? Yeah my husband and I plan to keep it inside- at least right now (hence the diaper). Having been behind a guy in line at the store who hada bird on a...
If Tractor Supply does not have Durvet High level Vit B compound, order it from Amazon. We give it orally to ducks (it's injected when used for cattle) we give 1ml orally every day until at least 1 week after symptoms resolve
Its actually quite dangerous syringing fluid into the bill as it can...
@ChicksnMore
Come say hello to @ChicksnMore who comes to us from Arizona and has been a member since July 2013.
1. Tell us a bit more about yourself. And is there a story behind your member name?
I was born in Korea and came to America when I was very young. I've lived in Alaska...
Could be pignut hickory. We've found a few in the woods here. Not tasty at all. Never tried to cut the wood. Surprised the ducks gave them a try.
About your pasture, have you thought about seeding with something like rye grass or fescue until stuff comes back? It will germinate quickly at...
Bitternut hickory or Pignut hickory. I can't tell the difference with complete confidence, but am 90% certain its Bitternut. Destroys the chains on a chainsaw, utterly inedible by humans, and not real popular with the goats, either.
The ducks, believe it or not, will sometimes eat one, we...
I have never made any kind of diaper before. I did find a post where someone made duckling diapers out of socks. I think they grow so fast, it would be nice to be able to find a pattern to make yourself that you could resize every couple or few weeks.
I wish the best for you and your gosling...
Thank you all for your replies!
I have been using the Rooster Booster Poultry Cell since the beginning of December, so about a month now. I have being giving him 1 mL about 2 times a week. I was unaware that most ducks found it gross since it doesn't seem to bother him at all when given with...
Can you share some pictures or videos of him? I have an idea of what is going on, but I want to be certain.
Getting things like duckdiapers may be worth it for you. You can get him and some friends some. That way they can move more freely around the house without getting poop everywhere...
