Swelling in duck's elbow

[donaquijote]

My male duck Piotr has a seriously swollen elbow, the joint between the lower leg and the upper part of his leg. Can anyone suggest how I might treat this and attempt to bring down the swelling?
Thank you for any ideas you can offer.

Can you post a picture? Is it hot to the touch? How old is he? Any idea how he injured it? An epsom salt soak might help bring the swelling down.

Warm epsom salt soaks will help with inflammation. I do a couple Tbs to a gal warm water. Soak 10 min or so. Do not let the duck drink the water, it has a laxative effect.

If you can't identify anything externally that might be causing the swelling, hopefully it's just a sprain. Vitamins and electrolytes in water, keep stress low, wait and watch. Good luck

Cool swims will bring the swelling down...Probably sprained it....

Best wishes....

I have a runner drake limping as you can imagine a Runner they never walk anywhere. So I just ordered a product called T Relief, Amiga has always rec it figured I'd give it a try on Snoop. Plus putting Nutritional yeast in their feed.
Warm Epsom salt soaks is a very good idea also .
