My duck has leg issues…HELP!

[Miss Lydia]

What you need to do is gently feel along the back of the leg Compared to the left leg you might be able to feel if the tendon has slipped. How is the walking coming along?
If the tendon has slipped see if you can gently put it back. Honestly if it's a slipped tendon you may have to have a vet look at it.
If it is def a slipped tendon the longer you wait to get it fixed the harder it will be to fix it.

Usually when it's a slipped tendon the leg won't bend all the way down like the good leg is that what is happening?

Is this all the way down?

What I mean like when the duckling tries to walk do both feet lay flat on the surface he is standing on? Or is the hurt leg not able to fully extend?

Are your parents around or maybe older siblings for us to talk to them?
This is scary for you, I know, but tears won't help anything and they take away your ability to think clearly.

Ma’am I’m an adult. Just very empathetic. And I feel bad.
