Swollen ankle on a very fat duck

[MoEggers]

My very large Pekin hen has a sore ankle, I've soaked it in Epsom salts and keep her confined but I want to give her a round of antibiotic since I just came upon some and believe it will help. Any idea on dosage for augmentin 875? Please and thank you. I did just spend an hour looking for info but no luck on that particular med.

Can you post a few clear photos of her legs while she is standing?

Antibiotics are for infections. Bacterial infections...does she have an infection?

What have you been feeding her?

Does the swollen area feel hot?
I had 2 ducks with infections inside of joints and they were swollen and felt hot, I took them to vet and he gave an antibiotic and it worked.
