Some type of bacteria. Vet did a culture. Takes 3-5 days. In mean time soaking feet in a rinse. Thanks for all your help!!!!

We have untreated well water.  It is tested every year or three, since it is our drinking water, and yes, that is what the ducks get, too.

 

 

 

--- just read the vet's information.  So, perhaps a large bacteria load, or some ugly bacteria in the water?  Is the rinse with antibiotics?  Are they getting oral antibiotics?  This is so very strange and sad, I hope it gets resolved right away.

Looking for ducks?  Please consider adopting rescued ducks.  There are many places and people who do rescues, but we are not allowed to post the links due to BYC regs.  So fire up your web browsers and find some sweet, grateful duckies.

We also have untreated well water, i'd say alot safer than city water with all the chemicals they put in it.

That's good to have a verdict from the vet. I hope that you can halt the problem in its tracks now.
