Injured duck, slipped tendon?

[Sarah1234]

I like the sling idea the pic was posted earlier. I am sure if you google you can find all kinds of ideas about how to make her mobile by making a wheel chair for her or a sling on wheels so she can push around with her good leg. If she seems happy and not in pain and your willing to take care of a house duck then I say go for it. The duckling is adorable.

Looks like quite a bit of swelling in both legs above the ankle are they hot to touch too like infection in them?

What have you done so far to try and help?

It's the same heat as my other ducklings legs I've been getting her to swim it's only been a day since the vets but he said to try massage her legs aswel I've just ordered some avipro plus the vet suggested for vitamins and stuff

Aww bless she does really well. I'd let her swim in warm water then massage while her muscles are nice and relaxed. I'd also sprinkle Nutritional yeast over her feed and your other ducklings feed too 1 Tab per cup of feed.

I know I'm very surprised by that video. The original makes it seem so much worse. She will definitely need some care to keep her as strong as possible.

Hopefully with vitamins and massage and water therapy she'll get much better. She's def a keeper.

Yea she is indeed and that vet wanted to put her to sleep yet the other vet said there was no need to just waiting for her avipro to come in the post but I certinatly will be going for gold with her to ensure she has a good life

 

[Miss Lydia]

Please let us know how she is doing.

Sarah sent a video of them swimming.

Sure look like normal duckling playing in water.

Okay now we have a young child could your duckling have accidently been dropped?
Don't mean to offend and I am not asking this question to offend but it has happened to many even adults when ducklings manage to get out of our hands.
