Legs and feet - pics attached

[Garafraxaducks]

I have a lovley female call duck.
Shes been having issues with her leg. She is unable to put weight on it, sits around, has to use her head to pull herslef up. She can keep up with the rest of the flock. She eats, drinks and loves to swim.
Ive been giving her lots of water therapy in hopes to build her some strength.
I looked at her feet today and saw these dark marks. Do they look normal?

I'm not sure about the black marks, but the thing that stuck out to me the most was how long the nails are. I would trim them back a little bit, or file them down, as they're too long.

I don't know ducks but those "black" things looks to be bumble foot and her nails are awfully long. Need more eyes here ....

Can you get a couple more pics if the bottom of the webs?

 

[WVduckchick]

I agree, more pics would be good.

What type of bedding do they have, and what are they on throughout the day? It could just be calluses, or could be the start of bumbles.

Yes, those toe nails are much too long. You can see where the quick is. Trim the nails to just short of the quick.

Your adorable duck need to have her feet soaked in warm water with Epsom salt for around twenty minutes. This will soften those black scabs so you can scrape most of them off with a thumb nail. Perhaps you will see some waxy substance under the scabs. Remove those, as well. Then smooth on some antibiotic ointment. Wrap with vet wrap after this until the sores heal.

Thank you everyone!
I will trim her nails soon! I didnt even think. I feel like such a bad duck mom.

She is on straw bedding. I will upload better photos in the next hour or so. Thanks for your input.

I just grabbed a few more photos. I noticed that she wasnt putting weight on her heel (not sure if thats what it is called). I attached a photo.
Yeah also noticed the area was warm.
Shes been dealing with this for a while and I had taken her to the vet a few weeks ago but they said she may have been injured. @WVduckchick

 

[azygous]

And you paid this vet how much to state the obvious?

Those black scabs are injuries. The one on the heal she doesn't want to put weight on is the worst, and is infected. It's usually from staph. Serious cases may require an oral antibiotic. But most of the time, cleaning out the pus, and treating it with antibiotic ointment is enough to heal it.

Superficial bumblefoot can heal in just a few days while serious cases require weeks or months of soaks every other day and debriding the wound to keep the pus cleaned out.

I agree it looks like a wound that is beginning to get infected. Could she have stepped on something and cut it?
Try some antibiotic ointment after an epsom salt bath soak.
Might even consider some padded bandages, if she would tolerate it.
