Please help. My ducks leg is very swollen

[Cherib603]

Why skip a day of antibiotics?

Not such a good idea ! They must run their course to be effective

One shot of abx is not going to get an infection under control

The veterinary literature says to give it once a day or once every two days. The OP chose the start with every two days.

Since the poor thing has been suffering for over a month, I think I'd be more agressive.

Yes, I understand. Veterinarians wife here.

You also need to take into account that the infection probably is widespread and maybe a few days in a row in the beginning may help to get a hold on it.
Just trying to help.
I'll unsubscribe now since you have this well in hand.

As the wife of a veterinarian, can you confirm with him that it will be okay to give this every day at 100 mg/kg? That would be so helpful!
