Duckling foot deformity

[Idcowgirl03]

This ducking is one day old and has a messed up little foot. Aside from niacin supplements are there any remedies to help correct this?

Little baby is healthy and happy and perfectly snuggly otherwise!

I believe you can make a little cardboard/tape shoe to help teach the foot to have the right shape. Do not tape directly to his foot.

As cheezenkwackers wrote, you can make a little splint/boot with carboard and tape [on the cardboard not the foot]. Use vet wrap to hold the boot on the foot. You should aim to get the foot flat so that your duckling can walk, and not worry about the shape of the toes/webs.

let us know how you and duckling get on!
