Treating ducks for bumble foot
It’s ok, she will have surgery on Wens. The infection is a bit invasive and too solid to squeeze out or remove with a syringe. It’s my fault for not taking her in sooner. Hopefully she does well and they can get everything out. They gave me a guarded prognosis, and a large price tag. But what... -
Treating ducks for bumble foot
if it is bumblefoot I’d suggest getting to a vet sooner than later. I waited and it spread to the point they’re not sure if they can get it all out with a surgery. Her bumble didn’t have an obvious exit point or abscess so I wasn’t sure what it was. I’ll most likely have to euthanize her. So... -
Does this duck have Bumblefoot or...?
My duck has this too. It doesn’t look like when my chickens had bumblefoot. It’s fleshy. I’ll see what my vet says. I’m curious what your vet said.- fuscia

Duck with intestinal Blockage
He’s doing ok still. I took him to UGA’s animal hospital. They did blood work and since it was normal they didn’t feel an X-ray was worth the cost. They gave him a wormer and fluids under his skin. I’m just keeping tabs and might follow up with the exotic vet when she has an opening. He appears... -
Intestinal blockage & what is this hanging out of my drake's butt?
That might be his Duck penis. My duck’s wiener looks like fusilli pasta :P -
Duck with intestinal Blockage
I’m hoping to see someone Monday. He likes the Emeraid and it’s high calorie. He was able to keep up with his friends and not acting as lethargic as yesterday so I let him be outside and have him in a per carrier overnight to see what he poops. Still pooping out mud. It looks like wet clay :/... -
Strange duck behavior?
Could be a vitamin deficiency. Duck feed should have enough Niacin but you can also add brewers yeast to their feed. My Black Swedish who had shaky legs for a time. You can also buy this at Tractor Supply or your local feed store or order it online: -
Duck with intestinal Blockage
I’m embarrassed to say this, but I tried putting a sock around my Cayuga who had developed angel wing. It would come off within 10 minutes or during the night. I assumed it had come off a month or two ago but apparently had disappeared under his feathers. I looked for the band but couldn’t find... -

Cayuga Angel Wing
Mine has the same thing despite feeding him properly and making sure to lower the protein and up the niacin. I have 5 ducklings and he’s the only one with this issue 🤷♀️ must just happen some times -
Need Medical Advice!! My Duckling lost the ability to balance and can no longer stand.
Hi, I’m sorry about Peppie :( Here is some info I found to help others: “The crest forms on the head of the duck because of a malformation in the skull. These ducks develop with a gap in their skull which is filled in with a mass of fatty tissue. The feathers growing from this area of the head... -
Duck making a whistling sound
My Cayuga duckling whistles for me. I whistle back. It’s fun -
Dwarf Muscovy Duckling?
Thank you. It seems so. He wasn’t growing and by day two his siblings were twice his size. Oh well at least he was cared for and had family. Rather than being euthanized at the hatchery or taken to the back room at the store. -
Mystery Duckling
Thank you. Do you know if duck layer hybrids suffer the same fate as chicken hybrids? As in they die after only a few years? I keep these as pets. -
Dwarf Muscovy Duckling?
Thank you, I did give him/her electrolytes and vitamin water mix. As well as emergency animal liquid feed. Emeraid or something. He began peeping a Lot the second day and passed away that night. I tried everything but couldn’t get him comfortable for very long. I hope feeding him didn’t make him...
