Duck with swollen ankles (no bumblefoot, only calluses)
Yikes! I looked up MS and looks like it could be fatal... How do birds contract it? We live in the suburbs and the ducks are contained in a fenced run (no wildlife in the area and none of our neighbors keep birds). Wondering if MS is unlikely..? -

Bumblefoot or callous or something else?
