Injured duck need help!!!

[HGM]

So I went to care for my birds last night and noticed there were two stuck in between the dog house and the fencing (we use dog houses as extra space to sleep/rest/get out of the weather) when I pulled the dog house out one walked out completely normal and the other didn’t. They are about a month and a half old. She (or hopefully she) was not walking on her right leg. She was trying though. She’s eating, drinking, and still trying to walk. I don’t see that her leg is crooked or swollen. She just has it always curled up and when she tries to walk and stretch her foot out to get it just stays curled like it if she can’t stretch it out. I stretched her foot out for her and she put weight on it and tried to walk but when she had to take another step her foot stayed curled. When I moved her foot she didn’t show any signs that it hurt. I thought that maybe it went numb but she’s still like this today. Attached is a picture of what I mean by her foot being curled and stretching it.

I got this from another thread on here. This is how her leg hurt leg is (the one held up). And when I say stretch I mean the normal foot where you can see her webbing.

Does she use her injured leg while swimming? I’m hoping that someone with more experience will be able to respond.

She may have just sprained it while she was stuck, trying to get out. Give it a day or so and see if it doesn’t get better.

Agreed. I have sweet gum trees and sometimes when they got the zoomies and stepped wrong on a ball, they would limp for a while. Give it a few days to heal but keep us posted on progress.

Sort of I put her in the bath tub and she’ll stand on it now and swim a little bit but not for very long. Off and on.
