    very swollen ankle and foot, bumblefoot, gout, sprain?

    There is a wild Pekin duck that lives on a canal near me that has developed a very swollen ankle and middle toe. The swelling has worsened. The first photo is from 10 days ago, the second photo was from today. She is walking on it quite tenderly, and doesn't use that leg much or at all when...

    Bumblefoot diagnosis?

    There is a semi-wild Pekin that lives on a canal near me. Overnight, she seems unable to put any weight on one of her legs and won't even use that leg while swimming. We're trying to figure out if this is bumblefoot or some type of sprain. If she did have bumblefoot, would she still be using...

    Duramycin 10 ratio for soggy bread

    Hi BYC, I'm going to try to treat a duck with Duramycin 10 with the soggy bread trick (i.e. soaking bread in DM 10 solution and then feeding to the duck). Does anyone have experience with the ratios? Here was my plan: - correct does is 800 mg - I figure she might ingest half a cup of water...

    labored breathing after attack?

The female endured an attack on her neck a few days ago. There is some swelling around the neck, but she seems to be...

    curing bumblefoot on wild Pekin duck

    There is a Pekin duck that lives on a local canal. She appears to have developed a case of Bumblefoot. I've become quite attached to her, so I'd like to do everything that I can to help. Most of the treatment options seem to require a fair amount of handling, and I don't believe that she'd let...

    large bare patch on the small of the back

    There are two Pekins that live in a canal near me. We noticed today that the male has a large bare patch under his wings in the small of his back. We don't think this is from bullying, as the missing feathers are all in a concentrated area, and we haven't seen much bullying. The area is...

    do male ducks stay near the nest?

    I live near a canal where there is a male and female pair of Pekin ducks. They are always together and never stray far. This evening, the male was alone, and I couldn't find the female anywhere. I'm optimistically thinking that the female may be nesting somewhere on her own. Is this the...
