Pekin female - dislocated hip?

[chanceitup]

@chanceitup , I cannot see much in the picture you provided - please provide more details pertaining to the bump you're seeing. Is the bump hard, does wiggle at all, how wide would you say the bump is? if you wet down the skin underneath does the provide any clues to what the bump is made up of?

Is the bump in line/correlation to her leg bone?

I will try and get a better photo, but it's hard to show what it looks like in a photo. I would say the bump is in line/correlation to her leg bone. When comparing it to her other side, it's noticeable and in my opinion, would align with her hip area. The bump would seem to be the top of her leg, as it doesn't appear to be a wound or anything else like that.

Hard to suggest what to do without knowing exactly what's going on - trying to pop back broken bone would not go well, that's why I'm hesitant to suggest doing so in consideration of it being dislocated. I think you will find the best prognosis by seeing a vet and having an exam, and radiographs done to determine what the problem is. As for now, I would try to limit the ducks movement, and keep her situated in an area with plenty of soft padding.

That I can agree with. Trying to pop in a broken bone could make it worse instead.

Could it be a pulled muscle? What I believe happened is that our drake jumped up on top, and with that weight she may have done some sort of splits. I've since corrected this on the deck, which was meant to be temporary, but we've received a little too much snow for how the set up was. When comparing bones on one side and the other, they seem to be in the same place. I called the vet and asked if there are any other places that they're aware of that could help, waiting to hear back.

If the bump you're feeling is bilateral, I would suspect that to be simply an anatomical feature. Pekins tend to get soft tissue injuries (sprains, strains) fairly easily, so that may have been what happened. I would try to reduce her movement for a while, and ensure her bedding is softly padded to reduce pressure off her feet. As an additional measure, you could consider offering her B vitamins, which are important for leg health, and try to get her in deep cool water every day or two to exercise the legs. Even doing that, you'll likely find time, and rest is needed for complete recovery.
