GIL’S WORLD EMERGENCY 💔

[Kkrista123]

Hello all, we need your help immediately!!! I got home from work today and Gil’s limping, can’t put any pressure on her right leg and it’s obviously her ankle joint bothering her. I’m going to burst out into tears Any second please help we’re in a warm tub right now, add epsom salt?
I have no clue what could have caused it. I’ll get video

Have you checked for bumbles?

 

[Kkrista123]

No bumble foot or open sores. It’s Definetly the ankle joint bothering her. She was biting at it and I can just tell that’s what’s bothering her

Does it look swollen? Could you add pics? Also, how old is she?

If you aren’t familiar with Gil, she’s our full time indoor duck.

Her second bday was this past august. I’m getting vids to post now

Add epsom salt to eat tub. Is it swollen at all? Is there heat? Can you post pictures? I am not familiar with Gill, but I am sure she is avery special pet!

Ok. I was asking about age because it could be arthritis, though seems unlikely if shes only 2.

Epsom salt in a warm tub of water would be great for her if she sprained a joint. After the soak check her leg if she is moving it, if any long bones look broken, if there is swelling, and if the joint feels hot (other than from the warm soak).
You will need to put her in a crate or similar thing with food and water and let her rest her leg.
