Duck severe limp help!

[Quackpack22]

UPDATE: so he still isn't putting weight on the leg, eating and drinking still acting normal other theb walking around. I did give him sliced romaine and cucumber yesterday with some b complex in it. Today I did notice some green poop.... I'm scared about that but hoping it's just from the greens. I put fresh bedding so I can see if it comes back to normal colo . Deesing regular now no greens, his poop is not runny either. I'll post picture of poop. I have him on antibiotic vet recommended, BUT I've done some research and I did not know ducks need to be wormed ??? He has never been de wormed and I got him mid summer, could this be why poop is green ?? I'm so scared I dont want to lose him .

Are those sores new? For some reason, I thought when you posted the first post in this thread that he had no injuries to his feet.

I didnt think he did, I've never really looked under his feet before ..... so idk if these are new or not sadly but it does look like something happened..... I'm not sure If its bumble foot or not it hasn't developed a puss ball or anything still

That back toe looks pretty swollen. That large pad has some blk looking skin is it a blk scab? Do you have clear iodine? You can soak the leg in warm Epsom salt water dry and spread clear iodine over all the areas that look like cuts or infection. Not saying this is bumble it could be an injury. They take quite a while to heal. I had a Runner recently who had to stay In a dog xpen for 3 weeks during the day because she had a bad limp. Couldn’t find anything wrong but determined it had to of been a sprain. During the night she slept with the flock in the coop but I kept her in the x pen during the day so she could heal and still be with her flock. I’d give this time and support with BComplex. And if an option of course vet care. Ducks legs are not that sturdy to begin with so getting an injury can happen. Also things can happen to cause a nutrient deficiency. I have to mix layer half an half with chick starter so I am not feeding my drakes gander an roosters too much calcium. And when my flock is laying they have oyster shell to keep up with any extra calcium they may need. I wish you the best in caring for you drake. Hope you keep us up dated on how he is doing.

I do not have clear iodine, It feels like a scab to me, but this is my first time with ducks so I'm just trying my best, so should I not be feeding my males any later feed ?

All flock is perfect. Don’t change a thing there. Anytime I give my birds greens they will have some green poop. Your going to need to give the antibiotic time to work along with rest and water therapy hopefully you’ll start to see improvement. If you can wrap him in a towel butt facing away from you so no accidental poop on you and get a real good pic of the bottom of that foot. Appetite is a good sign! I’ll let @casportpony give info on worming.

I got clear iodine at Walmart. I never knew there was such a thing until I looked for it and there it was right on their shelf! Should not be hard to find.
