Ducks run help please!

https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/niacin-deficiency-in-waterfowl.1367557/. Water therapy is a really good way of getting legs working and strengthened. Massage while in the warm water may help to. Can you post a picture of the leg. Buy dried meal worms that’s what most of us get. Do You think she’ll be able to walk on the leg once your done with rehab even enough to get around?

Yes I do, I see him/her trying to put it down, just cannot bend it. I see him just get tired from hoping and have to lay down. I am going now to Tractor Supply to get some VitB and hopefully some treats too. I just cannot accept no, for an answer. I just emailed another vet, 2.5 hours away. But if they think they can help I will go. I just want someone to make sure I am doing this right, I have never had to rehab a bird, and don't want to cause further damage.

Thank you

Let us know if this vet responds. Let the duckling have some time floating in warm water see how she moves the warm water will help relax the muscles.
