Well, the site I went to said that if it's very hard that it may not be infected at all. In that case I'm not real sure how to make it smaller. These are very large and are definitely impairing her mobility. She can walk, but she limps badly, and she had started to just sit in a corner all day...

I watched the video there with my husband, and checked out that post.. What my duck has doesn't quite look the same. It seems harder. There was a much much larger black scab on the top, and after we removed it it looked entirely different from what they had in the video. There was no white stuff...

Okay, I need some advice here. I have a duck with what I think is bumblefoot on both feet. Great big ones. I used this site for instructions on surgery: http://www.fresh-eggs-daily.com/2012/03/bumblefoot.html and here's what I did. We only did one foot so far. Cleaned and soaked the foot in...

Thanks, I'll keep a real close eye on her. Fiasco Farms is a great site, but sometimes it's information overload!

I've got two pregnant Nigerian Dwarf goats. I think they're on about day 137 of their pregnancies, but that's assuming that the day I saw the buck finally get a successful mating was the day they conceived. Anyway, they've been slowing down a lot recently. Most of the time I go into their stall...

Just wanted to update, in case anyone is interested. Bun is looking GREAT! It wasn't long before his skin took on a velvety softness and his fur started to grow back in. He's eating like there's no tomorrow, and just looks 100% happier and healthier. He does seem to have suffered some kind of...

That's awesome, thanks! He reliably goes through a bottle of water per day, so mixing it in his water won't be a problem. I'll give him a dose then 10 days after his previous.

Does it? I'm not sure how I'd get him to take it, but it's gotta be easier than the injection. The only needles I had on hand were very fine needles I originally bought for my goats, but I had a lot of trouble getting it through the rabbit's surprisingly thick skin. Would you recommend giving it...

It is definitely an illness (or infestation) rather than just matted hair. he's always been a heavy shedder, but nothing approaching hairlessness. He's also lost a good amount of weight from being off his food for a while. Thankfully he's gone back to eating well so I expect his weight to pick...

Thanks for the reply. I know it's not due to scratching. He couldn't possibly reach that part of his back to scratch, and it didn't look at all like scabby material. And the skin under the crust didn't look marred in any way. I will try some mineral oil on his skin today and try to get a picture.

Hello! I've never posted here before, but I've found a lot of answers to questions here in the past so I'm hoping someone can advise me. I've got a male New Zealand rabbit who is about 3-4 years old. Last month he had a nasty case of ear mites, which he's had before, and I treated it. I noticed...
