    Duck has scratched his neck raw!

    The blue stuff seems to be doing the trick!! Amazing product. And its not expensive. Wear gloves when applying, it does stain your hands. Just call me smurfette. Lol

    I have asked for them to get that info. But you really are helpful because nobody else has been able to help us figure this out.

    Duck has scratched his neck raw!

    Thank you so much for your advice and help. I am going to suggest that to them. Although it is technically their bird, I feel a sense of responsibility as a caretaker to him.

    Duck has scratched his neck raw!

    When it first started he was put in antibiotics orally and externally. He was being given benadryl for itching. He was treated for mites and given a dewormer (ivermectin). Since then he has gotten topical antibiotics and more ivermectin. Last night and this morning he was sprayed with...

    Here are some close up pics. The antiseptic and antifungal has turned him purple, but it should give you an idea how bad it is. Thank you everyone for your help. I sure do appreciate it. ❤

    Duck has scratched his neck raw!

    We live on the same property with the kids. They wanted ducks for the eggs. We had our geese and somehow we wound up being primary caregiver of the entire flock. I became Mother Goose and Duck. :jumpy We were just talking to them about needing to thin the flock. Or swap for more females...

    Hi Miss Lydia. Scarface initially eas tested for all the above and the vet wrote it off as neurotic behavior. He was given antibiotics but never got better. We had hoped he would outgrow this phase, maybe it was itchy feathers growing in and even cut his nails. He is usually first at...

    He is the white and buff runner to the right of goose. On left side of page for us. The one on left of goose (right side of page) is healthy one. Notice that the unhealthy guy also has no tail feathers. This was taken last week.

    We live on property with kids and their ducks. We have a couple geese and wound up being primary caretaker of the flock. Think the kids thought it would be fun to have ducks and eggs until once the novelty wore off . They took this little Runner in to vet a few months back when he first...
