duckling leg problem??

[Glitterunicorn]

I’ve put them in warm water, the little one enjoyed it a lot and kinda moved it’s legs. It was deeper in water, as you can see on the pics. Not the best pics tho, they were moving a lot. You can see how it holds it’s legs. I think the joint distorted a little bit. What can I do about that?

Can the leg be stretched out straight?

 

[Glitterunicorn]

Yeah. We went to the vet today, he said the duck will be fine in one week. I hope so

Why did he say 1 week? did he say what was going on and did he say to give B complex. which is awesome for leg health?

I asked him about this and he said yeah keep giving the ducks the vitamin and the duck will be ok and will walk in one week.

Actually the duckling started walking a lot around with the other duck, it still doesn’t moves it’s leg but I can see the improvement

 

[Miss Lydia]

That's awesome.. Keep up with the updates please.

Also the shaking should improve as it gets stronger! I'm glad you are seeing improvement already. I think my duckling's shaking stopping about a week after I was treating it. I haven't seen it shake at all in days now! Keep us updated.

Update: one leg works perfectly, but the duck can’t use the other. Can’t straighten it and the joint is kinda swollen. I can straighten the leg and the duck is using it for scratching, but that’s all

Are you keeping the duckling from moving around a lot? like trying to keep up with other ducks? sometimes rest with water therapy is best. Are you using B Complex or another type of vitamin? Seems the B Complex is the best for leg issues but if an injury it can still help. Can you post a pic of the leg where it's swollen?
