    Duck stung by fire ants

    Oh that’s awful. I’m so sorry. I have checked her over a few times and haven’t seen any ants on her. I just know one of them stuck their head in an ant pile. Just not sure which one. Molts are also confusing cause I know it can make them feel really really bad.

    Sick duck need advice liver toxicity

    Hi there. I have a duck in a similar situation. I found this lily of the desert aloe cleanse and it has milk thistle in it. Do you by chance know the dosage? My girl is on Baytril (I can also do Clavomox) and I am tube feeding her twice a day.

    Duck with swollen cheek

    Vet care is an option if we need it. Thank goodness. I got her on Baytril. I’m also massaging it back to front and we got quite a bit of snotty stuff out. But it just keeps filling back up. I’ll give the Baytril a chance to work and see how it goes.

    Weird growth on Duck’s bill

    Weird growth on Duck’s bill

    Hi there, I’m seeking some advice for my runner duck that has a small growth on her bill. I noticed it a couple months ago and have been watching it.
