Master thread on Bumble Foot?

I did some research on Google and asked AI to check the facts and proofread the text so Jenbirdee would know better and be the best at ducks!

I did reach because I have 7 ducks myself, and I also read about it in this book, The Ultimate Pet Duck Guidebook: All the Things You Need to Know Before Bringing Home Your Feathered Friend.

Please proof read better or add a disclaimer like Jen suggested. One of your posts in the past had misinformation that I had to correct. It is great that you are trying to help, but you could hurt on accident.

We are getting geese, so the Goose Book is on its way!

I understand what you all are saying and I will fix it and understand how it can hurt others.

Ok great - maybe see if he will eat some mash, and give some vitamins to keep his nutrition up. I think the most important thing for helping duck legs is the niacin, and the Durvet liquid B complex has 100 mg of niacinamide per one ML
You can also use human niacin pills but it has to not be time released or flush free
I also regularly supplement my Ducks feed with nutritional yeast to supply extra niacin, even though I feed them duck specific feed.
How much does he weigh? Be careful with the human meloxicam tablets you want to give him the correct dosageView attachment 4050523

Replying to myself here after looking in my “ ultimate pet duck guidebook” by Kimberly Link -the founder and president of majestic waterfowl sanctuary- and found this dosage chart - for Meloxicam she says 2-4 mg per kg .
Did this mean my 3 lb (1.4 kg) duck should be getting more like 4 mg per dose ?!
I’ve only been giving her the 0.75 per pound dose which is 2.25 mg.
