Duck with Bumblefoot

what Amiga said. An Epsom soak, watching to be sure she doesn't drink while she's soaking, wouldn't hurt anything either, and may loosen up whatever may be there too. Is she's Cayuga? Pretty girl!

I would look at that little dot to see if it is a splinter. And then put triple antibiotic without painkiller on the foot three times a day for a few weeks.

I have it with painkiller. Will that hurt her? We cleaned it with witch hazel because it was the lightest thing we had and then put a piece of cardboard under it with a wrap around it. She got around a little better after that, but was still struggling.

I would make sure the dot is not a splinter, painkiller (in the -caine category) is said to be unhealthy for waterfowl. Epsom salt soak (no drinking - it is a laxative) is helpful.
