!HELP¡ Duck with inflammation in knee

[Jose.js7112]

So I have a duck yhat was given to me by my grandma when she left and about a week ago I noticed her limping. I checked what it could be, when I noticed her knee was inflated and I don't know much so please help. Here are some pics

Thanks

Edit: I've tried Epson salt and it doesn't seem to help

I'm not sure but it looks like there is a small puncture wound on the knee if that's the case there may be a puss filled infection in there

Have you ever herd of bumble foot? Is seems to me that your ducks has bumble foot all over its leg! It is very hard to treat in some cases.....it is fatal. I would read these articles that I have listed to show you how to treat the bumble foot. Or the vet would be a great option! Good luck and keep us posted.....

Would you be willing to take your duck to a vet I think she has infection and is going to need an antibiotic

Hello..Pekin Ducks are know for leg issues. They are a heavy meat Duck. I think a Vet is needed to do an X-ray of that joint.

The only problem is that we don't have much money plus I don't know which vets work with duck. I live in Vista Ca if that helps

I would venture to guess it’s infected. Is the swollen joint the same temperature as the good leg?

No it is not the good leg is warm and the other is really warm
