10 Week Old Pekin Ducks

[riseupsunshine]

I am new to ducks so please forgive me! I need a little help. It appears I have one female and one male. Both ducks put on weight VERY fast. I am almost concerned how large my drake is. He is lazier, fatter, much more quiet. He had an ankle problem about 3 weeks ago and seemed to heal on his own. Well the problem is back. His ankle is swollen and he limps. I used the blue wrap and lightly put it on to hopefully add some padding / coverage.

It is not bumble foot...possibly hurt his ankle joint I don't know.

Is there anything else I should do for him.

Thank you!!

Have they received Niacin supplements?

Is the swelling warm to the touch?

Can you take a photo of this issue?

No fever present. Can I purchase Niacin at the drug store?

You should be able to find Niacin at any local health store.

I'm leaning towards the possibility of bumblefoot.
