Sounds like my problem, only I can't seem to get anything out. Her's just looks like a little hole in the pad of the toe. I used needle, tweezers and squeezed. But nothing. The toe is swollen but today there was no limp. I'll just watch her, I am sure it hasn't healed up, I think she is saying "I won't limp around that lady, she does things to me that hurt!!". LOL
Glad yours are doing better, I just hope mine goes as well.
How hard are you squeezing? I had to squeeze pretty hard before anything came out, and that was with my husband clamped onto her. Definitely not for the squeamish or soft-hearted. But as I told my mom this morning, I'd rather have a scared duck who's alive than a calm duck who's dead.
I sprayed her foot again with Blu-Kote this morning (which I'm sure was washed off in her immediate bath afterwards) and tried to take a new photo. It is significantly harder to photograph a wiggling duck with her foot mostly upside down while only using one hand.
Edited to add: even after poor Buff's traumatic "foot violating" two days in a row, that plucky ducky is still laying eggs! What a good girl!
