Purple spots on foot ? Bruising ?

[NettyM]

Do ducks feet bruise ? Pancake was limping this afternoon and I’ve no idea why , but after some rest he’s gradually getting better , however he’s developed purple spots on one foot , he’s still eating , drinking and pecking human ankles like crazy and shooting round my legs in circles , so do you think maybe something dropped on his foot ? I rang the Vet who said just to keep an eye on him and see how he is in the morning , but I know how quickly ducks go down so I just wondered if anyone else had had the same thing ? Thanks in advance as always for your duck wisdom

How do the bottom of his foot look like? Could be bruising or just colorization that maybe normal. Can you think of anything that may have dropped on his foot or maybe he walked across something hard enough to bruise his foot if this is also on the bottom?

Bottom looks good , clean as a whistle . We have a dry stone wall down one side of our garden and they like to go forage under the hedge , I’m wondering if he’s been trying to climb up or something dropped down on his foot , he was limping earlier in but seems much better on his feet now . They are like 2 toddlers getting up to mischief where there shouldn’t be any ! Very odd though . There’s noisy builders over the wall so maybe a loud noise spooked him , I’m thinking of anything and everything really !

If he's doing better that’s good hopefully he’ll be right as rain before end of the day. No telling mine are full of mischief too.

He’s got it on both feet now , can see same markings underneath now too , what on earth is it ? He’s holding one foot up looking very sorry for himself ! There are no lumps underneath as of it might be Bumble foot

Ooo that’s changed so much from yesterday , is it bumblefoot ? No vet today but can get an appointment tomorrow . Is it best to leave him with the garden to roam in and sit where he likes or lock him in his pen
