Help-lame duck here

[Pekinmomma]

Being I can't see her?...Is she overweight ?

I don' think so. Hard to tell with ducks...lol
She is a large duck (15#) but she' s taller and larger than the other female.

What about a slipped tendon...it can slide in and out of the groove.

I don' know- you could be right. That wouldn't show up on an xray, nor would a torn tendon. She lays with the legs extended behind her but doesn' seem to have trouble putting them in the right location again to stand when she wants. And her balance is off cause she tips over so easily.

Romy gets a limp sometimes especially in colder weather. I add turmeric to their food and it gets better. Worth a try. Be careful. Turmeric stains. I would try half teaspoon per cup of food. I moisten the food so the turmeric doesn't settle to the bottom of the food pan. If you prefer dry pellets, then just put at eighth of a teaspoon in a couple tablespoons of mashed peas or similar treat.
