    Is Tree tea oil safe to soak your birds feet in?

    Hi, My ducks bumble foot healed a week ago after the surgery. It's perfect!! So that has been cured. The reason she isn't walking is because she has a swollen, sprained leg. She is taking a inflammatory - Meloxidyl. She standing and swims daily in her own inside pool for exercise. "Epson salts"...

    Is Tree tea oil safe to soak your birds feet in?

    There is a visual difference, (though if you take a picture it looks the same?) It is swollen on the left foot. Do x-rays show sprains? She had the x-ray before the foot surgery and we didn't see a sprain. I believe when she had the surgery the incident may have happened then, because she...

    Is Tree tea oil safe to soak your birds feet in?

    Hi, She's eating now. She likes cooked corn and oats (with fresh herbs in her water.) She won't eat her favorite - meal worms for some reason? She wont use her left foot at all, she'll only move her right leg. So she sits down with her left foot out. It looks like she has a sprain, (but when...

    Hi, Thank you. The info in the first paragraph I know already, (but my ducks can only handle 6 minutes tops soaking their feet., no sleeping here) The bottom paragraph, the part concerning the daily "bath" to maintain her water proof, I'm not catching what you mean???

    Is Tree tea oil safe to soak your birds feet in?

    Hi, I have always soaked bumble foot in Epsom salts (though not salt water?) but really nothing special. You have to soak a long time to get the kernel out and my ducks can take it only for 6 minutes. Her foot is healing nicely after the surgery, but she can't walk!! and it may be the daily tea...

    Is Tree tea oil safe to soak your birds feet in?

    Hi, My duck has had the kernel removed for bumble foot and it was suggested by a vet to soak her feet in castille soap /tea tree oil mixed with warm water. I feel that it may be toxic. Tea tree oil, even three drops is strong and it goes every where on her body, besides her feet. She seems to be...

    Tea tree oil and eggs

    The best and safest way to clean your eggs is by using the organic vegetable spray you see in the market to clean your veggies. It's non-toxic and it safely cleans the eggs without ruining the bloom of the egg. Use with the white sponge and you have a healthy clean egg. (Never use tea tree oil...
