We purchased a duck we believe is around 2 months old. I noticed right off that it would lay down when eating or drinking and wouldn’t walk far without laying down. Fast forward to this weekend. We’ve had them a few weeks and they’ve been in the field and pond. We came home and noticed this duck limping very badly. I took it to our home and put it in our small covered pen. By the next day, it wasn’t walking at all anymore. I brought it in the house and put it in a cardboard box with bedding. It will not get up or move. It is eating and drinking fine but I have to put the bowls directly in front of it. It’s poo looks a bit runny but I’m at a lose as to what is wrong with it or how to help it. We are not able to take it to the vet. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I did check its legs and there is no swelling, nothing unusual feeling from one or the other. It’s nostrils are clear, eyes are clear, feathers look good…
