Pekin hock dislocated?

[Kohlercoop]

I rescued a bunch of birds yesterday and one of the ducks in the mix, a pekin has a bad leg and after looking at it further it looks like a dislocated hock/ankle. I have been treating all ducks with niacin and b vitamins and they are looking better but not this one. Any suggestions? A vet isn’t in the cards. My husband doesn’t want to spend that sort of money to reset if we can possibly do something from home. The legs turns inward at almost 90 degrees.

What brand of B complex have you been using, for how long, how much, and how are you administering it?

I was told to give this twice daily by mouth along with in their water .5ml by mouth twice daily and 1ml in the water

There is very little niacin content in Poly-Vi-Sol. Could you follow the treatment in this thread?

Yes!!!! Easy enough! Wasn’t entirely sure that was the brand I should get because I’ve been doing some research and there are so many different options. Thank you!!! I will update once I see if it works!

So a quick update on Lt Dan! He’s getting his legs back. The bad leg is still quite wonky but with water therapy and the tablets I put in a gallon of water that have all the nutrients, he’s doing heaps better. He’s standing and actually walking!!!! I’m so happy!!!
