My drake (call duck) was flying and had a funny landing and he isn't using his leg. I can't see anything on the foot (he isn't letting me see) and he's refusing to put any weight on it, so I assume its an internal injury.
He will run-limp to catch up if I'm too far away otherwise it's just tucked into his feathers and he stays put.
It happened yesterday and I gave him 0.5ml of metacam each morning - which is what my avain vet prescribed for another duck that had a similar injury.
I assume he's sprained toe or ankle or something.
Its really sad cos he's not up to his usual jolly self.
He's about 9 months old
Anyone got any advice cos idrk what to do
