She’s been in great health, eating well, acting normal, etc. She recently started doing this wheezing/backwards sneezing (not sure what it is or why she’s doing it) for the past 1-2 weeks and I’m not sure whether to be...- tabithafrost

Why is my duck limping?
Connie suddenly began limping and trying not to put any weight on her right foot. It looks a bit more swollen than her left foot (see photos for both) but it doesn't look like bumblefoot...I don't think.

My female pekin duck has been acting weird lately. She’s able to swim just as she did before, but she’s unable to walk. When she tries to walk she constantly falls over and goes very slowly.
