Upside down and now stumbling

[lilchicklets2]

Hi everyone. So I have a small flock of 7 ducks. When I came home this afternoon one of my welsh was upside down in the pen. I right-sided her up but since then she has just been stumbling around. I also noticed a red mark on one of her legs. I would attribute it to the bruise except since she was little she has always laid down more then the rest of the flock. Also I thought about the niocen (spelling) but the rest of the flock seems fine. What do you all think?

How long has it been since you put her right side up again?

about half an hour

I would give it a few hours. she may have been upside down for quite awhile. She may have gotten in a ficht while you were away. Can you post a picture of her leg? I wouldn't do anything to stress her though. just if you happen to get one if she moves or something of that nature.

I'm not sure what that is but I will post a pic as soon as I can

I think you are right about the being upside down for too long. But why does she lay down everywhere she goes?

This is the bruise on her leg
