Limping Muscovy Duck

[wendy858]

My 6 month old drake started limping yesterday and I'm not sure what caused it or more importantly, what to do for him. He does not like to be handled so splinting the leg myself is not going to work. Here is a link to a video of him. Hopefully, it works. Any thoughts are appreciated.

There's no video. He could just have sprained it. Drake are pretty big, and they don't exactly have strong legs. Give him time to rest. A splint won't do any good unless there's a good reason to use one.
