Hi,
I have a 4 year old male mallard duck.
In the past week he started limping. We have examined both of his feet and legs, but have found no apparent reason for the limping. He tries not to put weight on his right foot, and only swims using his left. A few times he has just plopped down and tried to paddle his way around on the ground. Otherwise he does all his usual behavior, bossing his fellow duck around, and eating. He does try to keep up with the other duck for dabbling but has some trouble.
Please reply soon!
Katherine
