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?

Has he had a wound on his foot or leg? Could he have injured it some how
They were attacked by some type of predator about a month ago so it could have been injured then. No open wounds though. His leg is warm to the touch
 
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?
