Our duckling was attacked by a rat 4 days ago and now she can't walk. She just rolls around she has started putting pressue on the leg that was bit. Any advice to help her walk?
 
Where was the leg damaged? Is there swelling? Can you get a photo of the injury?
 
Her muscles are undeveloped and my vet teacher thinks she has nerve damage.
 
Supervised time in a tub of warm water (same temperature as the brooder, or a few degrees warmer) should help circulation. I use Traumeel or T-Relief ointment - just a tiny dab, it is said to help nerve damage. I know I used it on an injury of mine and it seems to have helped immensely.
