She is adorable. Is she able to swim? I wonder if swimming would help strength/straighten her feet out.

Please note Issac O's suggestion regarding niacin. Ducks with movement problems may be helped by getting sufficient niacin in their diet.

Hi, thank you for the link. She has been on niacin supplement and there was no change. When I took her to the vet she said that both of her hips were broken and heald very bow legged. Her nest mates were not the nicest to her, that is why she is now at my house.

So sorry, what did the vet suggest regarding treatment?
