Help with knee issues!

Yes I attached

Here are some photos. It’s kind of hard to tell but we had an accident a few hours ago when I posted and he was limping on it.

Well sounds like jumping off the deck maybe the problem. Anyway you can stop that? Seems you’re doing everything else to help using great feed and giving b complex or just b12 it should be b complex. Their legs just aren’t made to take a jolt like jumping off a deck or the side of the pool etc.

This is a photo of their daily pool. Empty right now because I’m cleaning it, do you think it’s too tall, could also be causing the knee irritation and or sensitivity?

Sorry to bother you again. I’m looking online on Amazon for the powder. Will this work? Powder would be easier for them since I can sprinkle it on their food and treats. And should I give double the dosage since I have two ducks or should I just only let the one duck eat it? Thanks! Let me know!

You really need to also have liquid B complex not just B12 since it's B3 in the B complex which is the niacin.
To keep mine from jumping off the ledge of their pools I use dog X pens and place them around the pools except where I want them to get out there is a large rock inside the pool and a safe way inside also this keeps them from just jumping down from any place other than where they should.

What about this? And I can just pour a little of it over their food and treats on occasions? They've been scarfing down the Mazuri food so I worry less than before about the niacin but it’s always good to have that extra security.
Yea, I’m probably going to put a gate to my deck up since they are SO mischievous.

That is what you want. While he is recovering give him a treat just for him with this over it. 1 ml daily.

Perfect, thank you!

I will! I ordered the B12 complex online but it won’t get here until Thursday, about to head to town to see if the local feed store has it in stock. He’s not limping today but knee seems slight swollen still. Thank for your help!

Hey! So upon further inspection of my duck with the swollen knee, I found this. Does this look like bumble foot to you?? Could this be also why he is limping and has a swollen knee. He was limping more today so I checked and this is what I found. Please let me know, thanks!
