I have a drake with a swollen upper leg, he is limping. It doesn’t look like it’s bubble foot to me, but I could be wrong. Any ideas what this could be?

If he was grabbed and tried to get away it could be a sprain and they take time to heal. You could try some Epsom salt soaks or wraps to see if it helps with swelling. Has this been going on a month? Do you have any meloxicam? Metacam?
