Duck hurt it's leg and won't put pressure on it.

[SharkNewt]

I was holding my duck (something I do often) and she jumped out of my arms and hurt her leg. She's not putting pressure on it, and isn't moving much. When she does move, she hobbles. Is there anything I can do?

Just keep her isolated and comfortable so she's not jumping around. These things usually resolve in a day or two. Most of the time unless it's so bad they can't walk, I just let them continue to be with the flock and keep an eye on them.

She tried to walk, but won't use the foot. I think I remember hearing that they need to be away from the rest of the ducks, and to have limited movement, so I made her a little nest, next to where my other duck is, so she doesn't get lonely.

I also made her a meal out of collard greens I ripped to shreds in the blender, her usual pellets, and a few mealworms, and gave her the leftover water, with some more added to it in another dish. She seems to be eating very scarcely, but she is drinking the water. I came out to check on her and she also seems to have turned herself around so she has visual of the boy duck

I would make sure she also has fresh plain water as well. ❤
