I got a case I can't really figure out... Was hoping you kind folks can let me know what this is....
My duck is 10 years old and has arthritis in his legs so sometimes he does have leg issues to where he is clumsy and stumbles. Well I started to notice that his left toe on his left foot was pointing inwards and it was starting to go under his middle toe when he was standing. Noticed redness on the first toe joint.
Took him to the vet 8 days ago and they took X-Rays with no fractures or broken bones. The vet said its likely an injured ligament and he wrapped the foot up and asked to keep it on for 7 days. I opened the bandage and there is a scab where that redness was. It's also swollen. I have been giving him Meloxicam since I found this issue and Clavacillian as directed by the vet.
Any theories on what this is?? I am going to see the vet again next Tuesday.
