Duckling with leg injury!! Help!!

[PoultryLover1289]

I have a 1 week old duckling who has recently injured her leg. I have no idea how! She is in a large plastic box as a brooder with a heat lamp. She started making loud noises and the. Jumped around and then seem to not be able to walk on one leg. I put her in the bath, she can still swim in some warm water but limps on land. Whenever she walks she squeals in pain perhaps. She is drinking water and I’m feeding her some food. She is resting under her headlamp. Yes, she is a single duckling, the only egg that hatched… on Monday we are hoping to get her a friend so she won’t be lonely. Anyways please help! Is there anything I can do!! I assume it will heal eventually…

I would suggest Niacin supplementation. Is she being fed a ration specific for ducklings?

She is being fed not medicated poultry chick feed. I am giving her niacin supplement but maybe not enough.
