I lost a duck to a rat attack a couple of weeks ago and my Aylesbury who was left behind had a bite on her hock. It was cleaned and treated but she was limping. She then got worse and won’t put any weight on the leg. She has been treated with antibiotics and pain relief and is now cleaning and eating better but she still won’t use the leg. She seems to try but it’s almost like she has no feeing in the leg.
She can move it etc and she uses it in the water but not on the ground. I have no real duck vets around me and so don’t want to waste money on someone who is not sure what they are doing!
Do I splint it or leave her to recover?
The swelling has gone down a bit and now sticky fluid is coming out
