My 3-year-old duck can't walk or eat. What's wrong with her health?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Bird | Duck | Female | unspayed | 2 years and 10 months old

Hello, My 3 years old duck cannot walk. She eats too little. She started lame with one leg and then she finally cannot walk. I gave her vitamins and plus antibiotic injection. but no advance at all. I though bumblefoot but it is very little dot like on one leg and Vet told me it is not due to it. I dont know what else she can have. nothing works to her.

Thanks for reaching out about Vita. Have any diagnostic testing been performed (radiographs, comprehensive blood work)? Other support avenues need to be investigated such as anti-inflammatories, treatments for toxins, Marek's disease and more. Good luck.
