    Large swelling on foot?

    Hello! My duck, Nibbles, has recently developed a large swelling on his foot. He isn’t moving much because he doesn’t want to put pressure on it, but he otherwise seems healthy. It has been there for about 3-4 days. Does anyone know what this might be?

After a few weeks I let him walk with the splint on for...
