I have a 2 yr old Runner drake that got his leg caught between a wall and the water bucket.
Appeared to be sprained and then presented with the symptoms of staph. Their was a small scratch on the joint.
Otherwise healthy bird with no apparent fractures.
Our local vet is prevented from caring for fowl because of a bio-security contract with a local poultry breeder.
We did treat for 5 days with .2cc Baytril 2.27 injection and then increased to .6cc as another website for fowl indicated.
Has anyone else treated staph like this and if so what was the antibiotic and dose?
Please advise. My vet is willing to help but is not all that familiar with treating staph for a duck.
