So unfortunately, my duckling foot got stepped on, and it cannot walk on its one leg
Its only about 2 weeks old, and there is no visible brake, so this leaves me to believe that it is just dislocated. He can put a little bit of pressure but mainly just sits on his towels under his heat lamp with his food and water. I just need some advice on what I should do. I don't think a splint would help a dislocation, and I really don't want to go to a vet whose going to charge me $$$ for X-rays to tell me what I already know. Is there any particular care I should be giving it to help mend it?
If it helps he is the biggest ducklings in his litter. Literally twice the size of the other ducklings
Thank you in advance any advice is appreciated.
