Arthritic Peking Duck?

[Cmgrimberg]

I have a 12 year old Peking duck who is doing amazing except for some limping especially in the morning and after a long day. She reminds me of myself with rheumatoid arthritis lol. Can she have this and does anyone know how i can help her?

I am sure that older ducks can suffer from arthritis as my old chickens could. Your vet might prescribe an anti-inflammatory drug such as meloxicam for awhile. Carbofren (Rimadyl) might be another one to use. Those are prescription only, and need for a vet visit. But most birds will probably limit their own activity if possible.

I don’t have any answers as my oldest duck is 1.5 years old
But congrats on keeping your duck so long
Hopefully you get some answers on how to help her
