Duckling with Swollen Hock

[Kaitlin Braithwaite]

I have a 6-day old Khaki Campbell who was injured. I believe one of the brooding mates ran her over, as she’s the smallest. Her hock is swollen and she holds it up to her side. Occasionally she’ll try to use it, which typically leads to her toppling over. I’ve separated her and given her a little supervised swim time, but it doesn’t seem to be improving and I’m afraid I’m going to have to cull her (which I do NOT want to do). Any advice for how I might help her would be so appreciated!
