Argh! Wonky duckling - any more ideas?!

Hi everyone, wonky has not managed a day without the plasters as support sadly, he can stand with them, but not without. His leg appears to be twisting out now... does anyone have any ideas? I've uploaded some photos below. He is going to the vet tomorrow to see what (if anything) can be done to help him. Whatever happens i will make sure he doesn't suffer, but as he is so attached to the chicks and visa versa, i will do what i can... any ideas are welcomed, but please note, i'm not worried about him being wonky cosmetically speaking, only about his quality of life and mobility etc....  thanks

He can stand up and get around without but just waddles very heavily and seems to find it tiring. Although I'm not sure if his lying down is to help his food etc go down. He will be seen by the vet tomorrow an all I can hope is that it's good news!
Thanks
Kirstie

Good luck for tomorrow, I'll keep my fingers crossed

The vet has immobilised his legs by strapping them together all the way up. We have now to hang him in a sock so his legs are straighter as this will help them grow straighter apparently and so help it from slipping out to the side. Will update with photos later if we manage to achieve this! Fingers crossed the vets advice works, should know Friday. Please don't try this at home, this is under the advice and guidance of a world renowned avian vet!!

Thanks for the support etc

Fingers crossed Kirsty

He was so not happy about being separated from the chicks and would not settle in the sling and I couldn't leave him with his legs bound in a cage that I've had to cut the bonds :o( he's back with the chicks and I'm going to go back to the original attempts with just strapping them together and will have a chat with the vet tomorrow. Gutted but couldn't see him so distressed as it was upsetting me. All I can do is hope for the best :o( any suggestions or ideas are welcome.

I was going to take a picture of the sling etc as he was nicely settled, but then he got really agitated which is when i decided after he started thrashing about that enough was enough.

So, i spoke to the vet this morning about where to go from here as i failed with the sling....he says that there's not a great deal we can do as he is managing to get about on his own and that the best thing is to leave him as is and then as and when he's older we can look at repairing it properly if needs be. He suggests starting him on layers pellets, although they have a mix of crumb and pellets as he can't always manage to eat them at the moment. So we will just have to wait and see what happens and hope that his leg gets better. I asked about a less restrictive hobble as i had had before and he said that it would not now be of any benefit despite me asking about it as it seems to keep his leg under his body so would seem sensible. Sadly he thinks it will not help him now. :o(

I will try keep you guys posted, i want to say thanks for all the support... despite my lack of knowledge and feeling as if i'm bumbling through i am hoping that i can give this little guy a better life than he was destined for when i met him on day 1...

I can't offer any advice but I will keep an eye on this thread and I hope everything works out for wonky, I also applaud you for your efforts to do the best for him.
