I have a 3/4 month old duck,Kahki, female, she will not put weight on her foot unless she has to run to get away from something Most of the time, she stands on one foot and then is just laying around so she doesn't' have to stand up i think. I have called around, no vets near me will see a duck, I can't really afford a huge emergency bill for a duck. Any suggestions, should I let it play it's self out and see if she heals it out herself? I have goats and we think maybe one of them stepped on her? Do you think its just best and humane to let her pass on? I have 3 and i have kept them in a 12x12 dog kennel outside so she can be kept quiet, but the two healthy ones can't stand it and yet at the same time they hate being away from her.
I feel horrible.
 
Did you check for bumblefoot? If it is this it is a quick and easy fix that you can do yourself.
 
No bumblefoot, no visible injury or sores. someone suggested a sprain and she would be fine in several days. Also got a few names for a local bird vet.
