Help! My Duck is Limping

[DuckFrenzy247]

I have a male that has a lame leg. She might be starting to become lame. It is definitely one of the worst things. How is she walking though? Mind a video?

She is walking okay, there was a slight limp but she seems to be doing better today. I can get a video up in a bit!

Good luck. With your duck.

View attachment 1832613 She doesn’t seem to be too bothered by it though, she’s actually trying to get frisky in the pool but the drake isn’t about it today haha View attachment 1832614

i remember when my duck's pool looked like this, like 10 minutes ago! Very pretty ducks!

Not sure if you mind me asking but, where do you get such a big pool? Mine barely fits one duck with enough space to turn around so I have two for both my ducks

I don’t mind at all! I got mine from this big grocery store chain local to Texas called HEB. But I think wall mart sells them that big and maybe tractor supply?

HEB, what area do you live in? Mine only sells groceries etc. Tractor supply never has them.

The foot doesn’t have bumble so maybe it’s an injury. Those take time to heal. In the mean time because she is a Pekin I’d start her on liquid BComplex just for leg support. We should always give it to our Pekin duckling because they grow so fast but it won’t hurt at all to give it to adults too. @ThatOneFarmGirl786 I’d try it with your duck too. Dose is 1 ml over something they really love like peas mealworms tomatoes. Sure can’t hurt to try it and it just may help. TSC has the best one in the cattle dept it will say injectable but just peel off the foil and use a drooper to pull out 1 ml.

@Miss Lydia , my male with the lame leg doesn't eat anything except his pellets. I have tried running it through his beak with things like bananas so they stick but he just sits it right out. Not sure what's happening but he's always been like this. At least he's eating his pellets though. Maybe that's why his leg is lame, since he doesn't get enough proteins. Just realizing this now.

 

[Miss Lydia]

If you put the liquid on his pellets do you think he’d eat them?

 

[ThatOneFarmGirl786]

@Miss Lydia probably. Will definitely try it.
