Duckling Struggling

[Brookep2000]

Well that's something you will have to decide? Either try weeks of trying to correct the leg or culling it? Best wishes..

Thanks i watched a view videos on how to correct the foot and try to help it out so Im going to try it hopefully it works

Is the leg swollen where the knee bends that’s where tendon is usually out but with that most of the time the leg won’t bend. How is the duckling doing other wise? There are hobbles and water therapy vitamin therapy like liquid B Complex. Try in warm water and see if the duckling can use its legs.

Good for you. Yep culling can be one answer but giving the littles a chance especially if they are healthy otherwise is a great choice. I hope with your TLC it makes a recovery! Please let us know how it’s doing.

Yes i just noticed that the leg is swollen where the knee bends but im not sure if he can swim no matter what because he's only a few hours old

Will do

Well don’t put him into water if that young, but mama would have them out probably . Wait till tomorrow and put warm water into the sink stay right with the duckling as long as you get the duckling out before the water chills and put it right back under heat. This is just to see how well it can use its leg. Also the link I gave you talks about Perosis (slipped tendon).
