muscovy drake with hurt leg

[binji]

i walked outside to see one of my muscovy drakes in a mudpuddle with one leg help up like he was hurt, ahnd he cant walk on it and i dont think he can move his toes. hes inside in a blanket eating rn
besides going to a vet can i do anything?

update: he can actually move his toes but he still cant walk/put weight on it

it could be either broken or he could have a very bad niacin deficiancy. has he been limping past couple of days? check for bumblefoot and soak in epsom salt.

he was perfectly fine until i found him just a little bit ago, and it doesnt feel broken, but what can i do if it is?
