Oh no Peeking duck saw leg??? Help

[Paddy_c20]

Hi, my lovely little Donald 9 weeks old appears to have saw leg, the little character I thought was just learning a new trick by falling asleep with his beak tucked in his wing and standing one one leg? I though yes birds do do this but unsure about ducks, anyway why don't you just be normal an just sit down lol, anyway now I've noticed at any opportunity he now pulls his leg into his wing and now even started to develop a little limp? Am now worried again. Any help, again seem his funny old self eating and pooping like a duck haha

check for any small cuts right up in feathers as might have an infection
mine never stand like you have described
i was going to call mine donald and his lady daisy going to have to change that now lol maybe dippy or perky

Aw haha, ye I'll check them
Later on for that when there clean an dry , if it is infection what do I do?

 

[daniellesdogs]

antibiotics if you can get it and you can get an puple spray i think it is, make sure clean.salt water wash just dont let him drink it
its hard to do any thing on the leg. when my girl got bitten bad i rapped her in honey and bandages but that was her back. she became very friendly all the handling and it was just me and her as lost the other 2, now i got 19

Ducks always stand on one leg and tuck one leg up when they sleep, even om water watch that limp though
