Hullo All! Trying to see if anyone has any advice on what to do for my baby, he’s been limping for the past few days and it’s gotten progressively worse. He doesn’t really let it slow him down any and is still running around and playing/foraging with my other drakes, He’s not reactive to touch when i feel along the leg and joints and it doesn’t feel warm or inflamed nor does it look like bumblefoot which is why this is so strange, any advice on what to do for him or what this could be would be greatly appreciated!

sometimes it’s a little sprained or something and goes away on its own. I get him started on some liquid Bcomplex for a boost in niacinamide. 1 ml per day for a few days or a week see if it helps. You can squirt it over a small dish of mealworms. Make sure he eats it all .or you can give it directly orally using a syringe with no needle. Instructions are below.
What do you feed your ducks?
Do you supplement with niacin or anything else?
