Hurt duck? Please help

[1goose2ducks]

My male Indian runner duck started to just stand in one place with his head on his back today. They were free ranging all day today could he just be tired? I’m very worried he’s so sweet and I love him very much. Any ideas.

Can you pick him up examine him check the bottom of his feet for cuts bumble foot? Legs for swelling and unusual heat . Just pick him up and check him all over if you can get a weight on him and he is still this way tomorrow then weigh him again so you’ll know if he is losing weight is he eating drinking? My Runner drake is very active and always on alert when out with his girls so if this is unusual behavior for yours something is off with him.

Update: he is back to normal I’m pretty sure the long hot day outside wore him out. ( it was the first time in 4 days) Thank you all for responding so quickly

Can you post a video of him? Upload the video to youtube of vimeo then copy/paste the link here.

He only moves like a foot at a time when everyone else moves.

what kind of antibiotics and if you don’t know what your treating then it may not be the right one. Any chance if he is like this first of the week a vet could see him?

I just checked on him he has food on his beak and he was preening a little but then back to stepping position.

We’re hoping so too
