Bless her heart, but how nice to have a vet close by. Please let us know what they say.
Have you been on this site? https://sites.google.com/a/poultrypedia.com/poultrypedia/ there is a section on treating leg problems. Hopefully there is help for your duckling.I'm thinking that she probably has a slipped Achilles tendon. She had a vet appointment tomorrow morning, but I keep reading about ducks being put down because of slipped tendons so I'm really worried now.
Do you have vet wrap? best stuff in the world because it sticks to itself. make the shoe then wrap with vet wrap. When wrapping just don't wrap too tight and cut of circulation. You can even use it for support of the leg. when one of my hens broke her leg I wrapped it with vet wrap and it healed just fine.keep up the niacin too.
This is her foot. After moving it around and attempting to put a shoe on it (that failed miserably) I'm no longer thinking it's the Achilles. She has full range of motion but won't hold her foot open and I can't get a shoe to stay on. I'm wondering if it could still just be niacin since she has made quite a bit of improvement.
