Can ducks have Copaiba oil?

[Quacking ducks]

I have a year old duck with a broken or sprained leg. Does anyone know if ducks can have copaiba oil? Could it help her if I rub it on her leg?

How is your duck doing?

She’s doing a lot better. I think tomorrow I will probably let her back in with the flock. She’s still limping a little, but doing ok. Thanks for asking!

Heavily diluted, yes. I would do a toothpick dip or two in a tbsp of coconut oil. You might also try giving it to her in her water, 1 drop per liter. Hope she feels better soon!

Ok, Thank you I will try that.

Poor thing, I had a drake do that too. Do you think it's broken?

@casportpony is a good hand at advise on breaks.

I don’t know. She’s still walking on it but is limping a lot and her leg is swollen. I’ve been using that Copaiba oil I was asking about and it seems to be helping, the swelling has gone down a little bit.

What is it?

It’s a essential oil. At least for people, I think it’s supposed to help with inflammation and pain.

I am not sure might try searching on line and see if anything comes up.

Can you tell us how she injured her leg ?
