Pekin Duck leg problems, please help!

Her hocks look very swollen, could you get a better picture of them and her underneath her feet?. Looks like she might be pigeon-toed as well, both of those would make it very difficult for her to walk which would result in lack of hygiene and excessive laying down both of which would eventually cause the feathers underneath her belly to go bald .

She needs to be started on B Complex ASAP, 1ml a day.

I attached some before but here are some more. I don’t see any opened sores on her feet but her legs are VERY swollen. I started giving her B Complex yesterday.

Is that zip tie too tight? Do her legs feel hot at all?

Since she is older, it may take some time before she starts walking correctly.

Please take off the zip tie. Hoping the little on starts showing improvements with the liquid B complex.

The zip tie wasn’t tight but I took it off before I moved her into the garage in case her legs swell more. Her legs are pretty warm but I don’t know if it’s just from her laying on them all the time.

 

[Miss Lydia]

Can you let her have a nice warm bath? Watch how she moves her legs in the water. She should enjoy floating it take pressure off the legs and she can clean herself up.

Epsom salt in the water wouldn't hurt either, just make sure she doesn't drink the water, it can act as a laxative.

An update: I kept her mostly off her feet for about a week with B complex in her water and BY in her food. I gave her warm baths so she could float at least once a day, but they did not last long because she does not like when she can't touch the ground. I even tried putting her in a sling for most of a day. The swelling in her hocks is still very prominent and she is still limping a lot. I finally let her back out with her friends yesterday but still put her in the bin at night. She is still eating, drinking, and pooping normally. just having trouble getting around. Is there anything else I should try? Would splinting, wrapping her legs be helpful to add support? Thank you all for your help.

Thank you guys for responding. Ive attached a picture of their house which they’re only in at night. During the day they’re free range in my yard which has a large pond. When I went to take a picture of her feet, I realized that her legs are very swollen. She doesn’t have any scabs on her feet. I also attached a picture of the food

Here are the pictures of her feet/leg. Also, she weighs like 6.6 pounds. (The zip tie is not at all tight on her ankle, it just looks like that in the pictures).
