So my tiny duckling is five and a half weeks old and is unfortunately not doing too well. Today I let her swim in the bath for a while and then I put her on a towel on the bathroom floor to dry herself off. Well, something spooked her and she ran of the towel onto the slippery floor and her legs splayed out. One leg seems fine but she can't really use the other. She keeps laying down and when she does stand her leg sticks a little out to the side. I feel terrible. Do you think this is something that can be fixed (and if so, how would I fix it) or do you think she should be put to sleep?

Also, I noticed this morning that the tips of her wings don't fold under like they should. They kind of stick out to the side. Her left wing is worse than the right. I wasn't able to get a very good picture, but does it look like she has angel wing?

The leg is probably just a soft tissue injury and needs time to heal. Soak it in Epsom salts to help bring down any swelling that might be occurring.
The wing, that might be the start of angel wing, which will need to be wrapped to correct.
