Duckling not using leg

[Fisherlmiranda]

Well one of my 11 ducklings that my duck hatched outside, isn't using her right leg. I sat it in the brooder over night to see if just some rest would help. Then put it in a warm bath this morning. Shes not even using it to swim. She just let's it hang out to the side.

I dont know what to do for it. Or if the out come looks bleak in this situation. It's less than a week old.

Maybe the little one got stepped on by mom? have you checked at the hip that it's in place. Be sure to give some liquid B complex.

Yeah I think that's what happened too. I've played with the leg and the hips and dont think I feel anything out of place.

I would try a hobble to force the leg into a normal position:

And swim therapy as long and as often as you can.

Snapped tendon possibly from injury?

 

[FluffTheDuck]

X2 on everything. It’s probably an injury, but you can probably fix it how @WannaBeHillBilly showed, and make sure to get some vitamin B complex like @Miss Lydia said. Did you hatch cayugas? That’s what it looks like

Can anyone give me information on how to make a hobble.

Sure! You will need a hairband and a straw...
