THANK YOU! She is still going. We are on day 4 of Baytril after her toe became really warm. I have injectable and am giving her .5 mls orally twice a day. I think I was able to beat off any infection because her toe/foot is no longer warm when I check, but her toe still hurts her, which makes...

Hi all, I have a call duck with what looks like a broken toe and a puncture wound. I have her inside in a clean bed and am spraying the wound with vetrimycin and using triple antibiotic ointment. I want to give her an antibiotic orally as well. Was going to try amoxicilin in her water but it...

I just want to say I love the archived posts because I get so much information from them. This group is like my own personal vet manual at times and I really am so grateful for all the information you all share. THANK YOU.

I didn't even think of that! Ugh! Thankfully, we don't have many flies at all to deal with. I keep everything super clean and even our coop is 99% fly free. I'm insane about scooping all the poop. The good thing is the scab is very dry (other than the meds) and her feathers cover it so it does...

Ugh I know! I feel horrible for her. If you zoom in you can see the skin around the scabs looks healthy. There is one small spot where the scab has come off and the skin under it looks good so I’m hoping we can get this healed. Today was her last dose of oral antibiotics. She seems to be feeling...

Finally got photos but they aren't really that great. This girl is a handful. The wound is about 5 inches long and is a straight line up her keel bone. It's hard to see from the photo but it would be where her body meets the grounds if she was lying down. Her feathers are in really rough shape...

I’ve been trying to get some but she is not cooperating. I’m going to try to get my other half out here tomorrow to see if we can get her on board for a photo. She’s seen some stuff in her life and is just not a fan of us at all. We love her though.

Hi all! We have an older (maybe 5 or 6) female Pekin that we rescued a few years ago. She is NOT a fan of humans so handling her has always been an issue. We noticed she seemed off yesterday so we were able to grab her quickly and give her a once over. She has, what looks like, a large pressure...

When all was said and done we spent about $2500 to try to save her. We basically told the vet to do whatever they could and they did but it wasn't enough. I am not sure if the egg yolk coelomitis started it or if that was a secondary thing that happened because of the necrotic enteritis. I feel...

Got some more specifics, egg yolk coelomitis & necrotic enteritis. What I don't understand is that other than her looking like she lost some weight she seemed OK right up until the end where she stopped wanting to stand up. I am out there with them every day, cleaning up poop every day and there...

It sounds a lot like it but I don’t recall her using this name for it. Once we get the report I’ll know for sure. This sounds a lot like how it was described to us though. No other bird has had any issues even remotely similar. Other than a prolapsed penis in our very sexy call drake (which was...

Her poop all seemed fine. Nothing out of the ordinary. She didn’t show any signs of limping until the end. That’s what prompted us to take her to the vet. She looked like she hurt her leg. I was no idea there was something else going on because up until then she was her usual self. She was...

She wasn’t overweight (per the vet, because I’m not sure I would have noticed) and she also wasn’t a fan of the scratch grains either. She didn’t usually pay any attention to them. She did like her mealworms though. That was the only treat she got. That’s all any of them got. No one has gotten...

Since they live with the chickens they had access to Purina Layena with +Omega and Mazuri Water Fowl Maintenance. The ducks ate some of both I would think. They also got greens from the market once or twice a week. Kale, cabbage, dandelion greens and that kind of thing. They all got some grains...

He’s enjoying his stay in the house. 😂
