That’s awesome. You’ve done a great job with her and TLC goes a long way. Just don’t make the mistake I did, my little Runner stopped limping so I let her out and yep you guessed it back to limping again so it took another week. Total of close to a month for her to be back to normal. But she’s fine now.
Aw no, i wont she is nowhere near ready to go in the garden. What injury did your runner have? I wish i knew what she has done because theres no swelling or bruising but its a terrible limp when she walks its like she trips herself up i just hope the walk starts improving even slightly just so i know she's on the mend
 
I really am not sure, we live on the side of a mountain and they run up an down the hills many times a day I see them coming down so fast I think they are going to go head first and roll. So far I haven’t seen that but it sure looks like it. So I think she got a good sprain. I have the upper part of their property fenced off for winter because it’s open now with leaves off the trees and the hawks are bad. So they only get to run up an down if I am with them I think that has helped to keep anyone else from an injury. Their little legs just aren’t so sturdy as they think .And the heavier ones even worse.

Aw lol i can imagine😁 runner ducks make me laugh they look so funny when they run,id love more ducks but our three are just in our backgarden so cant get too many they make great pets and all have their own personalities I'd love to have more land and lots of ducks and hens. Im thinking shes got a really bad sprain i was just concerned about her hip my partner has checked up her legs a few times and he couldnt feel anything out of the ordinary. And she is a very heavy duck i can pick the other two up no problem but shes a struggle lol

You might need to cut back on treats if you think she too heavy. It will help her to do better on her legs.
Yeh i am she was getting spoilt when she was in the house plus getting no exercise wont of helped she was in the house for nearly 5 month 😑 i hate bumblefoot 😠. She has took it easy the rest of the day after her crazy morning haha 🤣
 
Hi just a quick question regarding bumblefoot. We checked violets foot before she went out and there was no infection left in which we could see and iv been checking it since but she still has a scab its a brown colour dosent look to be any puss under it. Is this normal and how long does it normally take to go completely?
 
Can you get a pic?
Il try to get one tomorrow i dont want to disturb her again and chase her round lol. The scab isnt black or thick like it was before its just a thin one and brown colour i could pick it off with my nail, but dont want to mess with it when shes outside incase it lets anything in wound underneath like i said before the bumble was very deep so maybes its not completely healed yet
