Try to keep it from using the leg much, when we hurt ourselves rest is the key to getting well, Try letting him have some rest, water therapy and get some plain niacin and add to their water 100-150mgs to 1 gallon of water. How old is this duck? also you may want to have a buddy in with it if you can separate it for a while till it heals.

I have had this duck since about mid to late april and it probably has been hurt since late april and the only problem I see is that the ankle wont bend.

I would also use an Epsom salts compress on the leg. Have you looked at the underside of the foot to rule out a splinter or wound?

 

[Mr chickenmath]

I have not checked for a splinter or wound but the foot wont spread out it seems to stay squeezed in
