HELP DUCK LEG IS SWOLLEN

[Rawlin]

Hello I am new to the community and I don’t really have any experience with ducks, I have read on some other forums about bumble foot and slipped tendons and a whole lot of other things, there is no duck vet within 30 miles of my house, any help would be much appreciated!

Can you think of anything that could have happened to have caused this?

It lives in the pasture with a pond with 2 other ducks and they all get along, the pasture is also shared by some horses and goats, he doesn’t really have any ledges to fall off of, but could’ve possibly been chased in by a coyote, we’ve had some ducks live in this pond for a while and this is the 2nd time this has happened the other one didn’t make it so I was seeking a different outcome for this guy.

I would go post this in the duck forum:

Or the emergency forum:

Could something have bitten it?

Here’s the duck forum https://www.backyardchickens.com/forums/ducks.42/
Welcome to BYC
If you can post on the duck forum or here is fine for now, more pictures showing the underside of your duck’s foot please. So we can see if there are any bumbles. There are a few things you can do to help. I will tell you all I can once I see the bottom of her foot.
