!HELP¡ Duck with inflammation in knee

[chickens really]

It actually looks like the infection is in the joint/Bone. If it's gets into the blood stream the Bird will die..Not a quick death either. A Vet is needed as are X-rays possibly.

I agree I think the joint is infected.

OP is gone so who knows what's happened since yesterday?..

post 8 We don't have much money. I am sorry to say that happens to many and Vet care isn't always an option. Thank you @casportpony for showing where to begin.

Have you tried soaking her leg in warm Epsom salt water and then removing the scab once it softens up? If it's staff infection which most likely it is you maybe able to treat her yourself but you need to start now before it moves into the joint and bone. Hopefully it hasn't. Make sure that scab is soft before trying to remove it.
