Duck having trouble walking

[TishaMarieP]

About two months ago I noticed my duck had bumble foot so I started treating it with vetericyn and Epsom soaks. Her foot looks to be doing better but recently she started limping on her other foot. It was swollen and hot to the touch, it seems to be getting worse and I don't know what's wrong or how to treat it.

That looks like either infection or an injury? She may need antibiotics any chance you can take her to a vet?

Possible.

Right now I'm not able to go to a vet, my husband is laid off at the moment.

How old is she and what are you feeding?

How old is she and what are you feeding?

She is 11 months, I've been feeding her normal duck food with occasional vegetables. She's free range in the backyard everyday foraging for plants and bugs.

Could she have injured herself some how? Is she laying? are you supplying any oyster shell for calcium?

When she got bumble foot she was putting a lot of her weight on that other foot. Every now and then I crush up hard boiled eggs for protein and calcium.

I am just not sure is there any place on the swollen foot that looks like a scab forming?
I have asked another member to have a look hopefully she is on today.
