Pekin Duck won’t walk/major limp (not jumbo Pekin)

[Crazy4Fowl]

My Pekin duck was limping badly this afternoon when I let her out and this evening when getting the ducks in she wouldn’t walk at all and I had to carry her in. She has some black crusty spots on her feet, I’ve dealt with bumble feet before but then it was a huge black mass on the foot pad. Her foot pad does look a bit swollen. Is there anything that we can do?

Is it just one leg or both? can you post pictures of the blk crusty spots?
if not bumble possibly a sprain?

Definitely post pictures and then people will be more able to help!

I've seen very bad cases of bumblefoot that appear as big black masses, but pics will help us tell what it is (hopefully).

Place her where she is comfy and not having to use her leg much. Food and water close by and if it's a sprain rest and vit B Complex along with water therapy can help her get over it.
If it's bumble we can help with that too.

 

[Miss Lydia]

That’s good but try and give her water therapy daily so her muscles don’t get soft. In the tub with warm water would work

This would work for all poultry.

Ok so it seems to be a process of a couple weeks. I will start it as soon as I can

That bumble isn't going to take a lot of work. It's not red or swollen a lot so soaking and using the PRID should hopefully get it where you can pull off the scab pretty easily Just wait it out so you know the infection is right under the scab. The scab should pull off easy when it's ready. I test it by slipping my fingernail under to see if it will pull up without tearing healthy skin.
The liquid B Complex @CoriM posted is the best.

either way if bumble or not, i think a nice epsom bath soak cannot hurt. And a place to safely rest. One of my pekins was limping a few months ago , for no apparant reason, I just brought her inside to our "bird hospital room" to rest a couple days, and gave her some vitamins (nutridrench) in her water (12 hours on, 12 off) she was fine in 3 days

She won’t put pressure on her right leg. Will post pictures tomorrow
