Hmmm, no signs of swelling on bottom pads? Could be a sprain, could be niacin deficiency....are you supplementing feed with extra niacin?

If it's a sprain, then Epsom salt compress would help - and a sprain can take several days, even a couple of weeks to heal depending on severity.

Epsom salt is a laxative, so I use compresses - but some put the solution in a small bucket and stand the duck in it, keeping the duck's bill out of the water.

I have also used T-Relief ointment on sprains. Myself and the ducks.
