Hadn't thought of that! She will eat anything that flies by her, she definitely would have tried to eat a bee. Making an appointment with her vet anyway and I can cancel if it does resolve itself.
Somewhat urgent? My Cayuga female seems to have a bump on the underside of her face. All my other ducks I can feel the two sides of their skull along with a tendon in between, easily felt and defined. With Daffy, its not as defined and there seems to be a lump between the left side of her...
Trying to compare the two in this picture but she woudlnt hold still
This is the joint that's okay and healthy.
This is the swollen one
The leg with the swollen joint also has raised scales?
Hi,
My Pekin Buster's hock joint is swollen and she is limping a lot. What do i do? The earliest the vet can see her is next Friday or the Monday after but it's all during the day and I'm a teacher so i can't just take time off... And the emergency fee is insane. I don't want to have to pay...
We made an appointment with the closest exotics/avian vet. Unfortunately since she's the closest, she has lots of patients and can't see us until next week. Unfortunately I don't have time or money to be able to go in as an emergency. In the meantime we'll be soaking and vetericyn-ing her...
We decided to go back in. We got some more gunk out and made a small cut on the top of her foot in an attempt to drain what was on top too but that wasnt successful. She was in a lot of pain and starting to breathe too hard so we stopped and wrapped it up. We'll let another scab form and...
I'm just worried about the cost for surgery on her foot.... and possibly getting in trouble for tyring to do it myself. But I'm sure I'm not the only one.
Omg. So we may have to cut the top of her foot too?? We havent used the iodine yet. She has a black scab on the spot we cut on the pad of her foot.
Is it safe to assume we should peel off the scab, squeeze some yuck out and bandage every few days?
We cleaned it today and there is a huge black scab. we cleaned around it and sprayed vetericyn on it, and wrapped it up again. how long till we soak and pull off the black scab?
So when I change the dressing tomorrow, clear iodine and.... neosporin?
Also, can we still eat her eggs if we're putting all this stuff on her foot? (betadine, vetericyn, iodine...)
