lame duck

My 8 mo duck will not walk on her foot as if yesterday. I separated her and am giving her vitamin b and electrolytes and greens/fruits in case it’s an issue with that deficiency again like when she was young but has anyone experienced this ? I have to carry her back to the coop and my ducks do...

Hello! Yesterday I noticed our welsh harlequin duck Ravioli was limping and hesitant to come into the pen from the pond for bedtime. They could still stand at that point but on one leg, hesitant to put pressure on their left leg. We inspected their leg and foot last night for bumbles, heat...

Hi everyone, New duck mom here 👋🏼. This duck (I assume female) was discovered this afternoon just laying around. I approached her and instead of standing she used her wings to try to get around. That was her state all day. I put her in the pool and she stood on both feet and moved around in...

Hello, hoping someone may be able to offer advice. Our call duck has suddenly become lame in one leg. He is 3 years old and has previously always been in good health. He free ranges in the day in our garden with his brother, and is locked in a coop at night. 2 nights ago when I put him away, he...

We have a duck with lameness after getting caught in a rope. We have metacam and Rimadyl at home. Which is the go to and dosing? I’m currently Covid positive so I can’t bring her into her vet for X-rays so I’m trying to make her comfortable until I can but I feel horrible for her

Hello BYC community, I am currently raising six lovely female ducks. Three are pure Pekin ducks, which are almost a year old. Additionally, I have three baby Indian Runner ducks, who are around three months old. Hence, I am still very new to this feathery realm. Unfortunately, one of my Pekin...

Asking for assistance from any experienced duck owners please. We have 4 mallards (one imprinted adult) and one white call duck, who have been with us for 5 years, so we have some experience and knowledge - though never enough. This is a new one for me. Hatched 8 weeks ago, our Gabby (by...

We have a Pekin we’re currently treating for a really bad case of Bumblefoot. We got her from someone who was unable to take care of her anymore. She’s on antibiotics and Aspirin from the doctor. My concern is, she had pretty obvious swelling joint on the leg were treating. About double the...

My 4 ducks are now one month old. The 2 Cayugas and blue runner are growing into big beautiful ducks. One of my Blue runners- Franklin, has had a hard time. He is shaky, not wanting to move etc. I was pretty sure it was Niacin deficiency. So I have been adding Niacin everyday. We are in almost a...

about a month or so my duck stopped walking out of no where. She gets niacin. Gets vit b. Gets supplements. Even prior to whatever happened. Her foot always looks closed if that makes any sense and her toes feel cold to the touch. Should I be putting her down at this point? I just don’t get what...

I have a Jumbo Pekin Drake who just came up lame yesterday. Barely using his right foot or leg. I picked him up and saw no visible damage. I've read that Jumbo's can have leg problems. I know no reason he should be limping except perhaps genetic deficiency or maybe hurt himself getting in or...

I have an older duck called Brownie. She is about 8 or 9 years old. More than a year ago she started limping. It was getting worse. I checked her feet but there was nothing out of ordinary there. It got so bad she could hardly walk. I looked online and found that it could be caused by...
