Brown's Bird Lover's Blend Duck & Goose Blend Dry Food​

Purina® Flock Raiser® Crumbles​

Purina® Duck Feed Pellets​

DuMOR 22% Crumbled Duck Feed​

Happy Hen Treats Oat & Mealworm Party Mix Poultry Treats​

cooked white rice (not too much)
Dry cat food
Also, I tried giving her

Durvet High Level Vitamin B Complex Farm Animal Supplement, mixed with scrambled eggs she ate it a couple of times but she is not eating it anymore.​

I just bought Metzger Farms VitaMetz waterfowl boost powder and mixed it in her water bowl but she is not drinking it.
I noticed in the past couple of days she has a foamy eye (left) I have been using Vetericyn Plus Antimicrobial Pet Eye Wash once a day.
I don't know what to do with her left leg limp. I give her an Epsom salt bath every day, and fill up the bathtub after, so she can wash herself and exercise her leg for 10 - 15 min. she moves her leg in the water and she can lift it to clean her ear (with some struggle) and if I let her she will jump out of the tub (I don't let her jump, just pick her up and place her on cushion towel and blanket to dry herself). she sits by the window all day, some times I move her and place her in a container on a cat bed, so she can see the lake and around 6 - 7 PM I take her to her room and I have placed blanket, towel and dog training pad to sleep on. She doesn't walk much and sits all day. Any Advice greatly appreciated. Thank you!

One more question:
She seems to be very unhappy and sits by the window and keep looking outside where the lake is and every time a drake (same male ducks that hurt her) swim by, she tries to call them. I am not sure if I am doing the right thing for her, I was thinking about letting her go in a few weeks. I am worried with stress her condition get worse. However, if I let her go back to the lake, I am worried, she gets attached again, also, our HOA decided to remove all the ducks from our community. So... I am helpless and don't know what to do...please advise...Thank you

Well her diet sounds fine, so maybe she just injured it rather than a niacin issue? Still give the B Complex though, it will help. Have you tried mixing it in with wetted down duck food?
Its good she's resting, she needs that. I know for chickens you can give 81g aspirin for pain, so you could probably try that for her and see if it helps. Also, leg issues can take weeks to heal. I had a chicken injure her leg once, and I had her separated for 6-8 weeks so she could heal.
As for her eye, keep using what you're using on it and see if it makes a difference.
She's lonely and wants some duck friends, that's why she looks out and calls.

I suggest going on local poultry Facebook groups, and ask if anyone wants her. That's the best thing I think you could do.

Hello, I took her to another vet and he did an X Ray, nothing is broken but he said something is wrong with her hip and he can't help, I just need to leave it alone. I am feeling guilty, she was sitting a lot, this could cause her limping to advance and getting worse. I thought she needed to rest. She was swimming in the bathtub for 20 min. do you think sitting for too long made her muscle weak?

Poor girl!
Hard to say, I'm not sure. It could've though! I know moving around can help in some cases. I would let her swim for longer and see if that helps? I sure hope she gets better!

I just noticed she kept picking on her back, when she was swimming in the tub. I saw a sore scab on her back , right about her tail. it looks like a very deep bumblefood but in her lower back. any idea what this could be? could be the reason she is in pain? and there is nothing wrong with her leg? this has been there for a long time, but she doesn't like to be handled that is why I never did a body search. Thanks
