Duck limping with red on foot

[LivLev]

It’s my first time owning a duck and I don’t know what this is. I can use some help if possible. My duck (Monica) is limping and has red on her foot. It might be bumble foot, however I am not positive since I have never raised a duck before.

By the way, Monica is 5 weeks old and hasn’t exhibited symptoms at all until now.

It looks like Bumblefoot to me, try soaking it in an ebson salt solution and see if that makes a difference. I’ll also post a picture of a cute someone else recommend here

Thank you!

Certainly! Keep us posted on how she’s doing!

How long should I soak the leg?

That looks more like brushing soaking should help though just don’t let her drink the Epsom salt water it’s also a laxative.

Ok, thanks! How long should I soak the leg for?

 

[Miss Lydia]

As long as she’ll let you. At least 5 min or longer.
