Injured duck

[Soon2BChixMom]

It looks like maybe angel wing? If she’s holding her wing like that. Ducks will then limp if they have angel wing. If you can catch her, is she light?

Hmmm. I've never heard that regarding angel wing and limping. Angel wing is generally a cosmetic defect not an injury.
Now, if she has injured her wing or foot (or both) and is using the wing as a crutch, I can see that as being correlative.

Yes some ducks will start limping. She could be using is as a crutch as well

If she had angel wing she could be limping bc she was unbalanced. That’s what several differnt vets have told me

It doesn't look like angel wing looks more like an injury, Angel wing the wing sticks out from the body.

I would be more inclined to think the duck is injured with either bumble foot or something else.
Angel wing does cause balance issues, but not limping.

Alrighty! Idk it was what the vet told me. I’m thinking bumblefoot also

We need a good close up pic of her foot.

Yup...a pic could help!

Keeping all ducks in their pen today to encourage rest for the injured one without stress of being alone. Have not been able to get a good pic of the foot, but from what I saw I am inclined to rule out bumble foot. The leg itself does look a little swollen. Thank you all for your advice. Hoping the little girl heals quickly!

Good decision let us know how she does
