Is this foot okay? My duck just suddenly started limping and won't put pressure on this foot. What are the possibilities?? She keeps falling and it's so heartbreaking

Edit: the foot is really warm

How does it compare to the other one? is that a little swelling on the last toe to the right? i don't see any bumble at all. Could she have a sprain? How old is your duck?
Be sure to look at the leg real well for swelling or unusual heat or redness.

Here's the picture of the other foot, I'm confused, this looks purplish?
Also she's 4 months old

Comparing to the other one except for the coloring they look pretty much the same.
What breed and have you offered any niacin to your ducks from tiny till now? Lameness can be caused from a niacin deficiency.

I still don't know the breed, and I haven't given niacin much but just vegetables etc
 
What feed are you using? Just so we can rule out a niacin deficiency If you can get to TSC and pick up some Liquid B complex. it's amazing for getting them back on their feet. It will say injectable but ee use it orally it can be given right over a treat like veggies or watermelon. Mealworms. 1 ml daily. If you can post a picture we might be able to help identify breed.
