My month old WH duckling fell off a pillow that was only approximately a foot high onto carpet and now she won't put any weight on her right leg. I felt her leg and didn't feel any breaks. I have put her in water and she floats and splashes but only kicks with her good leg. She seems very lopsided and flops when she tries to walk. I have her in a cage sitting on a towel, without foo Please tell me how to help my duckling! Is there anything I can do? Can I give her baby aspirin to help with the pain? Help!!

Maybe a sprain? I would let her be to heal for a while. Keep her in a box with a cushy bedding and don't have her walk around too much.
