One of my ducklings has a problem with its left leg. I don't know if it happened when the male got him or if it happened on its own. I am not sure if it is a slipped tendon or spraddle leg.
When he stands he leans to the right and puts all of his weight to the right and both legs are under him. While he is walking he kind of hops on the right not trying to put pressure on the left leg. When he swims he only uses his right leg, the left one just sticks out to the back.
Does all of this sound like a spraddle or slipped tendon? If you know how to treat it them please tell. The only thing I know of is the bandaid the legs together.
ETA: I think it is now a foot problem. The rest of the info is in the lower posts.
