Duckling with messed up foot

[Miszcoliee]

We took in this week old duckling. His foot is badly curled under. We can't get it to flatten out enough to do a boot. Any ideas how to help? He gets around good but his toes are bent and he's walking on them bent.

Have you tried soaking in nice warm water and see if the toes will flatten enough to get a boot on?
