It’s not really swollen it looks like. For now give her water therapy everyday and maybe give her a female friend in a seperate cage, my duck Clementines broken leg just healed about a week ago. I did that and her leg eventually healed

We had our neighbour take a look and she said that it was swollen high up, around what I guess would be her thigh.
As for a buddy, we’re keeping her in the house and don’t have room to keep the duck she sticks with.

and "avian vet"

The nearest avian vet is at least an hour away. It’s name says it treats birds and exotic animals, and on their site implies parrots, but I’ll look into it.

Where do you live?

About an hour and a half a way from Montreal, near the border.

That’s the one I was looking at. I can’t tell whether they treat ducks. Our neighbour has also said that they are also very expensive, and may not take questions over the phone.

Most avian vets will do ducks. Call them and ask how much it is for an office visit & exam.

We called. They don’t treat, but suggested another one that is more expensive than we can afford.
