My duck has leg issues…HELP!

[gymnastammm]

Very swollen right leg. Thought it was just splayed so I taped them…someone plz help!

 

[gymnastammm]

Help.

it could be a niacin deficiency, infection, or injury. The right foot could be twisted like that because the duckling had splayed legs.
Is the swollen part hot to the touch (besides having the regular heat of a leg)?
What does the duckling eat?
Can it move its foot or walk?
Maybe give it some liquid vitamin b complex and some nutridrench

It’s slightly warm. Nutritional yeast, chick starter and water. I am giving it vitamin b complex. Put him in hobbles for a day and made some progress.

Warmer than the other parts of the foot?
It could be a slipped tendon, so I would contact a vet, if possible.
Does it have any cuts or scars on its feet?
Separate it in another enclosure (but so that it can see the other ducklings, if you have more) until it gets better.

I can’t fix it myself?

No, you can
I understand if you don't, I don't like going to the vet myself

How?

 

[Kingbobkingdom]

How?

I would make sure it is a slipped tendon first, and then research how to fix it.
I don't have any experience with a slipped tendon myself, sorry
