HELP!!
Doing ok I guess, when they were 4 days old my girls and I let them play in some water and to dry them off I let my girls blow dry them. Three ended up getting blisters and I treated the blisters with aloe and cleaned it 3 times daily with Epson salt and put triple antibiotic meds on the feet... -
HELP!! 4 DAY OLD DUCK HAS SWOLLEN FOOT
A couple popped and a few went down on their own. There are no more blisters on any of them most are getting scabs on them. Once I started using the triple antibiotic ointment it started helping allot quickly. I wish I would have used it right away.
