hi does anyone know if white cambell ducks suffer with arthritis ?as i have one that looks like an indian runner,but she walks rather strangly ,as if she is struggleing to put her feet forward.

Hi I have 7 Aylesbury ducks, one of which is limping at the moment.She is eating ok and seems quite happy.First thing in the morning she does tend to come out dragging her foot, but after about 10 mins she's up on both feet but hobbling.I spoke to a friend recently who has one of her ducks which is the same, and is convinced that she has arthritis due to the damp time of year.
Have you checked for any swelling on the bottom of it's foot (bumble foot), or damage to it foot or leg.
Feel it leg to see if it has any pain.It could just be a pulled ligament due to it slipping in mud etc.
Let me know.

Cheers
