Slipped tendon in duck? Please help!

[Jenbirdee]

Here is the B complex I am using.

There has a lot of other stuff in it that I’d be concerned it might not all be good for Ducks . What you need is the niacinamide. In your tablets , The Niacinamide is 200 mg for a 2 tablet dose. Are you giving one full tablet a day? I use Durvet liquid bcomplex , I get it from the feed store , or from Amazon. It has 100 mg niacinamide per one ML of liquid that I give orally to my duck with a syringe once a day if they are having leg or foot problems that might be helped by niacin.
But if what you have is or you can get, perhaps you can look up all the other extra ingredients and see if they are safe for Ducks.

Is there anything specific that I should be feeling when I touch the tendon on his leg? (To know whether it’s in place or not) I just honestly don’t have any experience with this kind of injury.

I haven't ever had this happen to any of my birds but from what I read you should be able to feel the tendon if out of place . Feel the other leg and compare the difference.

This could be a sprain and they take time to heal. I would keep him in a small area to rest his leg but give him warm water tub time so he can keep the muscles strong. The area needs to be where he has traction and doesn't slip around and can still see his flock so they don't forget him.

Thank you for all of the information. I will try to feel the tendon again tonight.
