Duck with Swollen Ankle

[Abraeri]

Well I just remember that I wrapped her foot up with my oregano salve.... so can't take a picture right now. I believe the origin of this inflammation is that she had bumble foot earlier so I'm guessing that whatever infection may have spread to her joint? Is that possible?

Definitely and then eats away the joint.

Is the bumble foot cleared up? How bad was it?

The bumble foot is cleared up... no more swelling at that point. It wasn't too bad - she limped around for a while but just like my other ducks when they get into thorns and stuff. I caught it a little late though - didn't see anything in the foot first time I inspected.

How many Drakes to Hens and kiddie pools etc..Injured Birds happen depending on set up.

Well hopefully if it wasn't bad and you were able to get the infection out and treated that isn't it. Maybe just treat it as a sprain for now and see how it is in 2-5 days by giving soaks and water therapy and oregano salve and rest and see how that goes. Also @onaharley 's vet rec DMSO on bumble and it is also good for inflammation so maybe try that I have it in a gel easy to rub on. every other day.

1 drake to 9 hens... we had 2 drakes but got rid of him early this year due to him being to hard on the girls.

Well sorry that's all I can suggest...
Treatment options for what? You don't know what's wrong and we can't see the Duck? Provide more information please.

To reduce swelling/inflammation. I actually posted 4 pictures of her legs, if you didn't see them. Intended to get pictures that show the swelling more clearly but her foot is wrapped up so I'll get that as soon as possible.

I think you might be correct, this swelling could be related to her bumble.

All of your pictures are very good and show very clearly exactly where the problem is. What does the swelling feel like? Does it feel hard, soft, or does it feel like fluid?
