Pekin duck Daffy

[1peace]

Hi
My Pekin duck will not walk with the other ones anymore so lately I've been carrying her in and out of the coop, down to the pond where she can swim around
but she is struggling to walk.
vitamins, niacin, in her water still no help for her.
poor girl not sure what to do about this?

If there has been any chasing going on prior to having to carry her, it could be an injury. Any toes/knuckles swollen? Do her feet feel warm to the touch at all? Are there any sores or wounds on the bottoms of her flipper flappers? Sorry, that’s what my daughter and I call duck feet.

How old is she? Is she laying? If you feel along her legs and rest of her body does she fuss like shes in pain in any particular spot? is she eating and drinking and pooping okay? how long have you noticed this behaviour?

There are several causes of lameness. To let us help you better, you need to answer some of the questions above.

Hi peeps
I'm pretty sure it's from one of the neighbor's kids threw her down the steps a couple of years ago
she hasn't been right ever since
she is around 3 yrs old
we have been checking her out from head to toe. she doesn't show any pain when we move things around no bumps, cracks,or any kind of marks on her
She loves her food and water and yes she is pooping I've been giving them niacin with vitamins all year and now she is not walking
it started out where she walks about 10-15 feet and falls forwards and a lot of wobbling when she did walk
