Is there anything I can do?

[Luvs Ducks]

My 2-3 week old duckling’s knee wont stay in place, therefore she can not walk. Is there anything i can do?

Does she swim daily?

More information needed?...

She does swim, but not like a normal duck. Pretty much just a circle. I can hold the knee and her leg will bend and look normal, but it wont stay that way.

Possibly a tendon is damaged?...

I can hold her knee in place and it will bend, but as soon as i let go, it pops right back out.

Im taking her to the vet on Tuesday, but he’s not sure there’s anything he can do.
