Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

Would appreciate if all you duck experts would look at this. Don't feel like typing it again.

I'm just at a loss for what to do.

Are you sure it's broken or could it be dislocated?

It feels like there's a gap/uneven place right where I think it should be smooth bone, not quite the thigh.... I am not as familiar with duck anatomy as I am with chooks. Let me look up a duck skeleton and I'll circle where I felt the gap.

I can feel the thigh joint, it isn't that.

About here on a live duck....

Banti, without it being splinted properly, I don't think it can heal properly... if vet is not an option, I'm not sure you will like the other option...

Thank you.

I'm going to go think about it for a bit.

Vet is not an option.... I am broke.

I am going to try and splint it, I guess. It is really far up on the leg for that but it's either that or... The other thing.

Which is a no way if I have any say in the matter.

Got any vet wrap?

Two rolls. I have popsicle sticks too, from the kids' craft drawer, so I'll try that.
