I have a 4 day old duckling who's legs were up by its sides when born. The toes are curled up too. It scoots on its belly and uses it's wings to push to help get around. Eats and drinks fine. Is there anything I can do for it ? And could it survive like this? Any replys would make me feel better . Thanks

I wish I could help, but I just had a duck have the same problem develop in one foot. Otherwise, he seems to be very healthy. I used a piece of tongue depressor and wrap to try to splint the webbed foot to keep it from curling up. I don't know if this will help or not. We've emailed a vet friend of ours to see if she has any advice.
