Hello everyone!

So last night we had a storm and my ducks are kept in large dog run and I have a tarp over the top with a pole in the middle to make it more like a tent so water runs down. When I went out this morning the tarp was completely ripped and the pole was leaning against the side of the run. I know that none of that had much to do with the injury of my duck, but i'm sure they were pretty scared last night. So when I went to let them out of the run this morning I noticed my Khaki was limping. He(assuming he is a he ;) ) did his usual routine and ran straight for the pool so I couldn't really see what he was doing with his leg. So I went and got peas knowing he'd come for those and he came limping along. He stood for a little and realized it was weird so he plopped down and ate his peas. I picked him up to check out his foot to see if there was anything unusual but his leg seemed fine and I even squeezed up and down his leg and he acted like it was no big deal.

So what could be wrong with him? Both of my ducks are 10 weeks old today.


This is what went down with the run last night. Tarp completely ripped in half.


This is Splish, my Khaki Campbell that is now limping. He has just been chilling in his pool all morning.


And I can't leave out Splash!

Thanks!
 
So with time it will probably heal? He seems to just be taking it easy at the moment. He just floats in his pool.
 
If he seems happy, and you do not see anything wrong with his leg, I think he will be okay. It may even be better tomorrow or the day after.
 
Okay! I am just going to make sure he doesn't run around too much and hurt it even more. I will definitely update if he feels better. Thanks!
