Lump on my Ducks foot

[DuckieMom1]

My peking duck started limping and now can't stand up, I found this on the bottom of his foot.
What can I do for him.
Thank you

I'm not sure what that is. To get a faster response post it in Diseases and cures.

Greetings from Kansas and

! Pleased you joined us but sorry about your hobbling duck. That looks like a bad case of bumble foot to me. Here's a link that has two articles regarding this condition and what to do about it:

It is treatable - that's the good news. Takes some resolve and determination, cutting out the infection, and usually two people to do it right - that's the bad news. Good luck and keep us posted!

Thank you so much for all the information you provided. I am going to try and get someone to help me
cut this off with me. My heart breaks to see my poor guy just lying around. I will let you know how it
turns out. He is only a year old.

Bumblefoot is

Hey DuckieMom1
