Oh please, Not another vet visit

[dishfickle]

I have a little call duck that I've been keeping inside for awhile(long story) the cats haven't been bothering her, I can't imagine how she could have injured herself, but she's not putting weight on one foot. She's eating, and walking ok, but when she stands she doesn't put all her weight on one foot. Any ideas? Not another vet visit I hope

Have you checked it over for sores? If there's no obvious wounds it could just be a strain or sprain which will improve slowly over time.

Ok, I'll grab her, and check it out. Ok, they're a black dot. That's bumble foot? What do I do?

I saw a treatment for humbled foot. Is there an alternative dressing besides duoderm? Can I get that the pharmacy? I didn't think I could

Searched it on past posts. Duh, why didn't I did that before?

Do you have any photos?
The treatment for Bumblefoot in Ducks is very similar to that of Chickens.

I haven't dealt with it ever so I can't give any treatment advice unfortunately.

Ok, here's a photo. I know it's her left foot, and I was SURE there was a black scabby thing, but I don't see it now. Maybe it was dirt lol. There are a couple of very small black dots. Also not her left foot. Maybe I was wrong about that
