How to treat a sruised leg

[Stella1027]

This morning I was holding my duckling to prepare the feeding place, then it jumped off my hand by a 0.5 meters high, it got up and starting eating, i thought that nothing happened, but after it ate, it was limping, and when i touch its leg, it just pushes off, it is not crying, and it is walking, here where I live doesn't have a vet for ducks, I made a bandage and but remedy for pain, since I think it had not broken, I want to know if there's something else to do, or just wait, it is just eating and sleeping, 'cause I don't know if I have to stimulate it to walk since the feet is kind of crooked... Thanks for the help in advance.

Best thing would be to post some pictures of the leg, can the duckling bend its legs?and you should check for swelling or heat. I’d make sure it’s resting an not running around at least for the rest of this day.

Yes it can, it can also stand up, but not too much, always laying down, it is very hot but as always and I can't see any swelling
