Limping duck, not bumble foot

[Moments]

I have a year old black swedish who started limping half way through the day a couple weeks ago. I checked her feet and there's no sign of bumble and no swelling, bruising or heat that would indicate maybe a broken bone or infection. I'm thinking it was from one of the drakes. Some days are better than others as far as the limping, where she looks like she's getting better but then she looks like it's back to day one. She's getting around fine, doing her daily activities and active, going in the pool etc but wondering if anyone knows how long it could take for this to resolve? I've had limping ducks/drakes in the past but it only lasted a week or so. It was mentioned to me could possibly be a pinched nerve but that usually resolves within a couple weeks? Guess it depends on how bad she was hurt.

I might be best to put her where she has limited area to move around so she heals without aggravating the injury more. And keep her away from the drakes too. If you can keep her where everyone can still see each other that would be best then they won't forget she is part of the flock. If you have Meloxicam you could give her some to see if that helps.

Our separate area right now where she can see the other ducks is being used as a drake jail lol. Where might I get some Meloxicam?

That has to be gotten by prescription I was just hoping you might have some. You can also use baby aspirin.

Oh okay. I'm not sure I'd be able to get a script. The vet here doesn't seem to like to do what I request
