    Swollen leg joints in Pekin duck

    Thank you so much for the advice on the cosequin, I will try my best to get some tomorrow. Our duck actually suffered a traumatic injury a year ago, where his leg got stuck on a wodden platform and it even bled. However that was a year ago, and the symptoms of his possible arthritis started...

    Swollen leg joints in Pekin duck

    We live in South America, and the vets here are all dog-cat centered so the vet has never really been an option for us. There is a swelling in his leg joint and what we thought he was starting to become a little pigeon-toed but we did originally suspect an infection. We gave him amoxicillin for...

    Swollen leg joints in Pekin duck

    Thank you very much for the advice, I will attempt to buy the cosequin as soon as possible. We also have not ruled out a possible niacin deficiency and yesterday we gave him 15 milligrams of vitamin B complex in 150 milliliters of water. I just realized I think we gave him more than the...

    Swollen leg joints in Pekin duck

    We gave him the vitamin B supplement yesterday night, but he isn't getting around much today and shows no improvement (he isn't worse either though). He still has a limp and his joint looks inflamed but otherwise he looks fine. The swelling on his legs was improving when we gave him the...

    Swollen leg joints in Pekin duck

    We only gave him antibiotics these past few days, however we are going to start with the niacin right away. However, we just got back from a farmacy and they only had powdered vitamin B complex (we live in South America so we usually have limited options. We plan on crushing it and mixing it...

    Swollen leg joints in Pekin duck

    Thank you everyone for the help. We stopped the antibiotics a few days ago, and we saw his leg was becoming less swollen. He is better than what he was when the limping started (over a week ago) and she is acting normally. The only issue is that he is still limping and this is worrying us. His...

    Swollen leg joints in Pekin duck

    Upon further inspection, we think we are dealing with some sort of bacterial infection and plan on giving him amoxicillin, but I am curious as to for how long and what the right dosage would be

    Swollen leg joints in Pekin duck

    These are her legs now. He looks a little weak but he still walks around, quacks, and is eating plenty. Could this be some sort of nutrient deficiency, or bacterial infection? We have antibiotics and are ready to administer if necessary

    Swollen leg joints in Pekin duck

    The final picture is actually depicting his left leg, which is in better state although we suspect it too is starting to become swollen. We are going to get him clean just this instant, and I'll send pictures in a moment.

    Swollen leg joints in Pekin duck

    These are his feet currently. Does anyone see something out of the ordinary? If it isn't bublefoot, then could it be something bacterial still? Or could it be something regarding his nutrition. I was told bran was good for ducks, should I start feeding him this?

    Good afternoon, I have a situation with my 4 year old Pekin Duck. 3 days ago, we noticed he was limping and we noticed that he had a swollen join on his right leg. We gave him diclofenac to help, but we have not seen any improvements. In fact, we noticed todaym his left leg is starting to become...

    Duck poop on carpet

    So we found pieces of duck poop on our carpet, and now we're worried we can get sick. We only have one duck since his partner died, we're in the process of getting him a partner, and we've been letting him out of the coop at lot more recently so he has more to explore and doesn't feel so alone...

    Urgent help with baby bird we found

    Update: So it has officially been a week since we found our hummingbird and today he isn't doing as well. He measures about 3cm by 2cm and he's been on nectar water for a while now, with the occasional insect but today he seems to have less appetite than usual, and less strength. We are...

    Urgent help with baby bird we found

    Technically he is not an orphan, the issue is that his mother made her nest pretty much on the roof of our house, right above our duck's coop. We believe he fell from there, and we often see the mother flying around. We don't know if he was kicked out of the nest or if he actually fell off...

    Urgent help with baby bird we found

    We do have a dog, so thankfully we have tons of food available. She's a cocker spaniel and eats small dog vegetable and meat food. The only issue is that it apprerently has "meat flour" and some preservatives which made me very sceptic. Would that be an issue or can he still be fed with it. We...
