My 17 week old White Hybrid Layer did something to her leg last night, specifically her ankle. This morning she could not walk using her right leg. The ankle is very swollen and appears a bit red. Her right leg feels a bit warmer than her left.
There is no bumblefoot, I could see no bite marks of any kind, and bedding is straw.
Petey (I know that’s a boy name), is a very loud mouthed female duck. Today has been a very quiet day here at home.
Several times today I placed her in her pool thinking the cool water would feel good to her. All three times I did not see her get out of the pool, but she never went any farther than right outside the pool.
She is inside in a crate in the house now and obviously had not eaten today.
My questions are

My questions are
- what could have caused this and
- what could I give her for pain and inflammation?
