Peking limping

[duckmom86]

About a week ago he started limping now he's not bearing and weight and just shakes. Yes he is eating and drinking, he hop to the pool to swim but you can tell he's hurting! Is there anything I can do!?! He looks fine other wise a little swollen but fine. The picture is the best view of his leg he's going to let me get. After handling him he's a little pissed at me!

Have you checked the bottom of his feet for bumblefoot? I would do that, and you can also soak it in Epsom salt to help with the swelling. Just don't let him drink the water since it's a laxative.

I've had this happen too. There's no mark on the foot, no bone sticking out of the skin... There's not much you can do. Most likely, your duck will limp for a while then recover on his own.

Selenium or niacin defiancy ?
