Help! My duckling can barely move his leg!

[rheannab10991]

I have a pekin duck that has a leg problem. Help!!! Hes two weeks old and hasnt been able to walk on his one leg for about 4 days. I have added poly vi sol without iron to hos water and added brewers yeast to his food thinkig it was a niacin problem. His foot started to swell so i wrapped it for 5 minutes in a towel soaked in epsom salt and water. It now looks like the knee is turning kind of purple and i cant see the veins in the webbing of his feet. Im trying everything. Please help!!!!

Yes its pretty swollen , seems like his leg is injured or maybe broken

at least it is easy to see what his problem is - can you take him to the vet to have his leg set? If it isn't addressed - a break will heal improperly.

He doesnt cheep when i pick him up. I already tried a wildlife vet and a regular vet and they cant help. Im going to try another vet tomorrow. Thank you.

Add niacin to their food and call a avian veterinarian .
