One of my ducks is limping

No, she is simply staying sit. I haven't observe any other gesture.
Right now I'm not sure she is limping with a certain leg; she is rather walking with difficulties, so she chooses to stay into a single place due to the pain probably.
I am going to make the test tomorrow, to see if i feel something. And I will post a video with her in here, maybe you will find something that I omitted.
 
I don't feel anything in her lower abdomen, maybe is not an egg bound.
Like you said, it may be a sprained joint, the left leg seems to have the problem.
Today she made a good walk with her sister, she limps but she made it.
Thank you a lot for all the information!
If you have any other suggestions or ideas, please tell me.
 
Possibly a good poultry vitamin or a Liquid B Complex -Calcium supplement It could be she is depleted in her calcium reserves from laying.

Great news she is at least up. If your in the US you can get Calcium Gluconate at TSC and Calcium citrate at Walmart or Pharmacies that carry vitamins. On line also.
Please keep us updated on how she is doing.
 
Hello again!
My duck seems to be in a better shape. She walks more and is noisy again, talking a lot with her sister.
She 's also on calcium gluconate now and I've also made her some warm baths (because the thought that it may be an egg bound still stays in my head).
The fact that she is not laying any egg might be related to her molting period i guess.
 
Happy to hear she is doing better. If she is molting she won’t lay till done. I’d give her the cal gluconate a couple times a week just to help Cher build her calcium back up for when she starts back laying and I am with @CayugaJana. Be Complex is also a good one to help get her legs stronger. Your doing a great job getting her back to health
 
Hello again!
My duck doesn't improve her mood at all and I start to think that she may have a more serious problem.
She eats, she make some walks, she enjoys the baths but I'm afraid she lost weight and she's also not laying eggs.
When she walks, she somehow step with one leg on the other and she tangles herself. Another bad sign is that her eyes have something like a foam in the corner, not always but often.
I had the same 2 symptoms (that kind of eyes but more complicated, with a conjunctivitis and also the limping part) with one of the males but when he was 2 weeks old and after some serious efforts, struggle and hope, he totally healed. Right now, I don't know if it may be the same situation with this mature duck.
I just hope is not mycoplasmosis; should I start a preventive treatment with oxytetracyclin or enrofloxacin?
Or maybe I should treat just her eyes with some kanamicin?
I already started to give her Ca gluconate and vitamins again to strength her immunity system.
