I left it wrapped last night. Tonight I am going to unwrap it, soak then most likely re wrap with the epsome salt poultice, as far as I have seen she has no scab, as I said in my previous post I am unsure of what treatment would be best because of this.
So my 4 or so year old blue swedish crossbreed duck has gotten bumblefoot recently. I noticed she was limping on her left foot on her outer toe (not sure atm what word is better) and immedietly started planning to treat her though didn't start as soon as I should or could have.
I have been...
Update: I would say Duck has been getting around mostly alright, eating and drinking she puts herself in the water bucket for swimming. I sometimes help her search for bugs and walk around I try to make sure I supervise her in a bath at least once a day but sometimes I can't, even when I don't...
Thank you! Duck is still doing the way she's been since the injury.
I wish I could have gotten copies of the x-rays.
Wishing the best for your duck! Hope you are able to find answers.
Well, we got her to the vet on the 11 iirc, they took x-rays and found that she has a broken femur. They gave us some pain meds for her. They don't think there's anything they can do.
I don't know exactly how describe the break/fracture. We don't have any waterfowl specialists near us as far as...
I went out and put Duck in warm water, deep enough for her to swim in and extend her legs. She scratched her head with her left leg multiple times and did well in the water.

My 6 year old blue swedish duck (Her name's Duck) was chased by a drake and she stepped badly on un even ground. She was limping and could barely walk, I witnessed the accident and immediately got her separated from the flock. It's been a couple weeks of her mostly being away from the others...
That was an adult drake, so just happened to be there. These my first ever incubator hatch and the last hatch for a very long time. The ducklings were out for supervised outdoor time.
Haven't made an update on the ducklings in while. Three are females one is a boy. All are healthy and fully feathered out, just working on their flight feathers now! I haven't taken any recent photos of them yet.
This one is a girl, Rain.
The one with the bib in this photo is Angelina's son...
