So my duck, Ange, was doing perfectly well this morning. Walking fine and was his or her usual self (still dont know if boy or girl). when we changed the water dish for the ducks (the dish is so they can drink and get a bit wet) ange ran over like usual. a while later though, mom went to check on them and saw that ange didn't come when called. she checked on her to find out that poor ange had a horrible limp and refuses to use her leg at all if possible. we put her in the bath for now so she can float in the water a bit to help relax her and take away strain of standing on the one leg, or worse, putting pressure on the hurt leg. we think she might have hurt her leg while getting out of the water dish, but are there any other possibilities on why shes suddenly hurting? and their bedding is cedar, could she have gotten a splinter, but if so how can it be hurting so bad that she doesnt even wanna stand? btw, ange is a pekin duck at about 9 weeks or 3 months
