We have a saxony duck that we hatched this spring. She seemed healthy as the other birds until a few months ago when she started to limp.
We thought it might have been because the goose was trying to mate with her:/ We separated her from the rest of the flock so she could mend her hurt leg. We didn't notice any swelling or unusual heat coming from her leg. After about a week she seemed to be doing better then the goose started in again. Again we separated them.... Same thing as the last time we put her back with the flock but this time the goose stopped bugging her.
Unfortunately she's still limping and I think it may be getting worse. We've grown very attached to her. She's very sweet and doesn't mind us handling her that much anymore, I just wish there was something we could do for her.
I've researched on the internet and can not find anything that sounds similar to her condition. I guess I was hoping she would get better on her own or I could find some home remedy for her.
If there's anyone that has any advice about this please let me know.
We live in a farming community so I'm hoping the vet will have some experience with this. I plan on calling tomorrow about her.
