Injured duck leg with no sign of injury

Keep up with the liquid BComplex too it’s good for support.

Thanks for the help everyone! Ordered the ichthammol ointment and am giving them Epsom salt soaks to help their feet. I also took pics of their other foot. Do they also look like they might be infected? They're not having any issues walking on this foot yet, but want to make sure so I can treat it too if needed.

I think that little black spot in the middle of the first pic is one with a core they were talking about taking off after a soak if you can get it. But I will let others chime in!

Okay, that foot doesn't seem to be bothering them as it's working just fine, despite how it may look. That black little dot looks to be just a normal scab when I inspected it with nothing unusual about it (at least as far as I can tell). It'll still be soaking in the epsom salt with the other, so hopefully that will help clear it up.

Once you've soaked for a while any scabs should peel off easily, you don't want to rip it off and damage healthy skin. What your doing with soaking and the drawing salve once it gets there should help get their feet good. Honestly their feet don't look bad, always best to catch bumble early because it can be a bear to treat if left too long.

Those feet have bumble too. I count five on each foot. You are doing the right things. This is pretty common among duckies. Its a PIA but your are on it soon.

Just as an update, after soaking their feet in Epsom salt twice yesterday and once this morning as well as finding and applying some Ichthammol ointment to their feet, they're walking much better today. There's still a slight limp, but it's not nearly as bad as it was for the past few days. I'll keep giving them their Epsom salt soaks and applying the cream until they're walking completely normal again. Thanks again for all of your advice and help!

So good to hear. Send us another picture of the bottoms of their feet early next week.
