Injured Duck - Anything I Can Do

[Koopadour]

We took in two ducklings from a coworker and one ended up hurting her leg around 6 week. we kept her isolated and she started standing on it again. After we moved her outside a few Weeks later she started having issues again and we isolated her with the other duck. Now she keeps the leg up and slightly outward. I'm worried it was broken and healed wrong. Has anyone else seen this, and is it recoverable and if not can she still have a happy life as a pet wit a bad leg. She is about 10-12 weeks now. she cant fully stand up on her own and has started hobbling around.

The leg injured is her Left leg in the pictures...

Welcome to BYC.

How is the duck doing?

Is a vet an option?

 

[Koopadour]

We live in a smaller town and none of the vets said they work on ducks. The closest major city to us is Houston 2.5 hours away. And we don't have the money to spend on a vet specialist.

She is more mobile now and starting to hop around but still cant use the leg.

Maybe try liquid b complex just to see if it helps it does give support for legs. And is easily found in TSC and probably other feed stores and on line 1 ml over a tasty treat.

Welcome to BYC !

Poor thing ! I agree with the b-complex and might also consider splinting leg and opening that foot out if its staying curled up all the time.
