limping duck

[4everacres]

I have 10 female runner ducks. I noticed one limping today. I looked at her foot, and it looks kind of swollen and blueish in one spot. what should I do? I can post a pic tomorrow.

Soaking in Epsom salt and warm water sure won't hurt[ just don't let her drink any it's also a laxative] did you feel around for a splinter or sticker? she may have a stone bruise too if it looks bluish like a bruise. can't see any scabs?? I use a small bucket to do the soaking and put both legs and feet into it and hold the duck for as long as she'll let me usually 5 mins or longer. do this at least 1x aday and see how she is in a couple days and post back, if you begin to see any blk scab coming up then it maybe bumble foot but it doesn't look like it is now,
